I'm going to say it again, "I hate naked cakes." In theory they should be easy, but they are so much harder to frost then regular cakes. The sides of the cake need a to have a nice carnalized skin on the outside, and the side need to bake straight and even with no shrinkage away from the pan. My cakes just don't do that!! So here is my latest attempt at a naked cake. The only thing I can say is that it is better than the last one.
But I did like the gum paste roses, they came out nice. Colors are wine, pink, and white.
Happy Decorating,
Carol
