Minimalist cakes can be the star of the party. Whether left as they are for a chic statement or personalized with a unique topper, they create a timeless centerpiece that reflects your style.

Semi-naked cakes are finished with a thin layer of buttercream, allowing a peek of cake to show through.

Choose a sleek finish with sharp edges for a modern, refined aesthetic, or opt for rough edges for an effortless undone look.

Note: Toppers not included.
