Groom's Cake
/
A groom's cake is a tradition that started, and is still associated with, the South. It's a gift from the bride to the groom, and usually chocolate, but can really be any flavor. The groom's cake is smaller than the wedding cake and reflects a particular hobby or interest of the groom. Traditionally, the groom's cake was not served at the reception, but sliced and given to guests as a wedding favor. Something new I learned was that single women would take home their slice and sleep with it under their pillow, so they would dream about their future husbands. Lately, the groom's cake is usually served at the reception along with the wedding cake.
I found some very interesting and unique ideas for a groom's cake; some of my favorites are shown below.
This guitar cake for the musical groom looks awesome, and I'm sure it tastes amazing as well. Photo credit here.
This Xbox 360 cake is for the groom that loves to game. Photo credit here.
I thought this one was a really funny idea for the groom that's obsessed with his iPad. Photo credit here.
Finally, what guy is not obsessed with cars? This could be a good way to let the groom have his perfect dream car.. without it costing nearly as much as a real one. Photo credit here.
I personally think having a groom's cake is such a great idea because it gives your future husband something at the wedding that is all about him. He can choose his favorite flavor, design it into whatever he loves, and it can tell a great story about him - or even a cute story about the couple.
