This fantastic cake continues to be a wedding favourite and is fast becoming a classic cake design. Yet there are still so many options within it. Today I thought I would showcase a few cakes that use both light and dark sponges, and how using these contrasting colours adds another dimension to the rustic but elegant cake.

The first cake we can see is one I made for a wedding fayre as a real live example.  Previous to this display cake all of my brides had opted for the single tone look. However, now I have shared this image the two tone look is now becoming popular with my couples as well.

The one below showcases a simplistic take on the Naked Cake. It has exposed layers of ruffly buttercream (created using a large star nozzle and piping bag), it is then dressed with fresh fruit, a satin ribbon, fresh pink flowers and finished with a dusting of icing sugar.
