One of the advantages of the Naked Cake is its almost limitless creativity. Whether you decide to be prim and proper and have neat and tidy layers of buttercream and sponge or you go for a more rustic, just thrown together approach. Part of the cakes appeal is that it isn’t perfect and all of its imperfections are on show.

When creating your own naked cake, think about what flavour combinations and colours that work well together. A few combinations which work particularly well together – are lemon sponge with lemon buttercream, chocolate sponge with caramel buttercream and vanilla sponge with a white chocolate ganache. We also create a range of eggless naked wedding cakes and gluten free wedding cakes.

 

Decorating your naked cake is all part of the fun and this is where you can really wild with accessorising.

Cake Sizing – How to increase Your Cake Mix

We are frequently asked in our cake decorating shop, Knowle, Solihull, about How much cake mix do I need to make a??? sized cake. This is more common when using different shaped novelty cake tins for themed birthday cakes or a bespoke wedding cake.

 

The following table should help with round and square shaped cakes.  For any other shape, fill your 8” round with water to the depth required, then tip that water into the shaped tin and you will be able to compare the quantities and adjust accordingly .

 

This table uses the 8” round tin as its base. Therefore a 12” round  (11” square) will require the base recipe to be multiplied by 2 ½ for example 200g will be increased to 500g.
If baking in a 4” square (5” round) use 1/3 of the base recipe, for example 200g will be reduced to 67g.

 

Round Square Multiples
4” 3” 1/4
5” 4” 1/3
6” 5” 1/2
7” 6” 3/4
8” 7” 1
9” 8” 1 ¼
10” 9” 1 ½
11” 10” 2
12” 11” 2 ½
13” 12” 3
