Help us pick a cake style...

MyBBLife, on September 11, 2016 at 12:13 PM Posted in Planning 0 34

Cake Pop or Naked.

We are having a traditional wedding cake during our cake and punch reception after our private ceremony next month. For our celebration of marriage (in April) we want to do something different for dessert. We will be having a pastry station that would serve as favors, and we are now trying to debate which style of cake to have on that table.

I like the idea of the cake pop cake because it's self serve and guests can put those in the favor bags along with the other pastries. FH likes the idea of the naked cake because it is more similar to a traditional wedding cake. I think having another wedding "style" cake when we've already had a traditional one for the ceremony is kinda overkill and is also something that would have to be cut and served.

As a guest, which would you prefer? Our menu is breakfast for dinner.

    I've always been a fan of the naked cake.

    If you're putting things in bags then cake pops are less messy. And I love a good cake pop!

    Naked cake looks messy to me, but maybe that's the way it's supposed to look.

    I looooove the cake pop cake!

    I would definitely prefer a naked cake. I hate cake pops because they're covered in frosting and usually have frosting mixed in with the cake to make them into balls (I usually scrape all the frosting off cake). It's just way too sweet in my opinion.

    The cake pops look adorable!

    I honestly hate naked cakes. They don't look like a finished product to me...

    I do not like the look of the cake pop cake. Imo individual cake pops on a stand or in some sort of arrangement look better. So between these two pics specifically, I'd say the naked. But overall, I think cake pops are better especially if you want them for favors.

    Aesthetically, I'd go with cake pops, but eating-wise I'd go with naked. I feel like cake pops look cute but are never really that great. I'd rather have a nice slice of something.

    Not a fan of either. I dislike cake pops because I don't want my cake covered in a chocolate shell. I think naked cakes just look unfinished and messy.

    @OhHappyPaulsons I have thought of cupcakes, but it's not really my preference.

    I've never eaten a naked cake before but I've always heard that they tend to be dry because the cake is literally sitting there with nothing to cover it.
