    Frosting! I am not a fan of the naked cake look.

    Naked cakes are the best!! Both in appearance, and in taste. My FH said No to that idea though, so it'll be not only frosted, but with fondant lol. Smiley heart

    I like the look of naked, but heard that it makes the cake dry. We are having frosting on ours.

    We chose semi-naked for our cake! It was gorgeous and had just the right amount of icing without it being overboard

    I don’t lobe frosting and would prefer naked for myself, but I like the look of icing better and my guests love frosting

    I'm not a frosting person but it doesn't look like cake to me without it, so frosting for sure!

    Leaning towards a one tiered naked cake, with more bite-sized desserts on the table!

    Frosting is a MUST for us. Not a huge fan of the naked cakes.

    Frosted is what most people like. Personally I always remove most of the icing.

    Our wedding cake is naked because neither of us like icing.
