Frosting all the way what makes it better is that our frosting will be cream cheese

Fondant more than likey. Unfrosted is very chic and upscale and not something for us. Plus frosting is something everyone in our family loves.

Definitely a frosted cake for me! I could easily make a cake with little/no frosting by myself, so I'd rather have the cake's skill level and decorations match the professional cost!

Frosting, for sure. Naked would dry out faster and then wouldn't taste right. No one likes a dry cake

Again, I like naked because it's less usual. It may actually be cheaper, and it gives the cake more colour and texture.

Somewhere in between. I like frosting, but in a moderate amount. If the cake is moist enough, inches thick frosting isn't necessary

I like frosted cakes better. I feel like naked cakes would be missing something taste-wise.

I don’t care for frosting at all so I’d go with a naked cake.

I like the look of naked cakes, but heard they can be really dry. We opted for buttercream icing!

I like them both! I think it really depends on the venue & the “vibe” of the wedding

I'm doing naked. Naked cakes do have frosting -- just not a crap ton of it. They are not dry just because they are not smothered in frosting. Frosted cakes can be dry too -- especially with fondant. I live super active lifestyle with limited sugar. I don't need all that sugar and neither do my guests. LMAO! Not sorry...

This is a tough one.. I think both look beautiful... but for eating, I'm not sure how a frostingless cake would taste?
