With fall quickly approaching (ah!) it only seemed appropriate to celebrate the end of summer with a delicious dessert filled with all of my summertime favorites: flowers, macarons, & berries.
A naked cake is a super simple & trendy style that tastes as good as it looks! Filled with layers of frosting equal in size to the cake layers, you don’t even have to worry about getting the outside frosting smooth as it’s not covered in any!
