How About a Groom's Cake ?

Just when you thought you have seen and heard of everything in regards to weddings, something comes out to "jazz" it up a bit. We are sure that you have heard of a wedding cake, but how about a groom's cake? Ever heard of one of these puppies? Well, sit back, relax, and enjoy the rid. We will be discussing the world of the groom's cake in this article.

Originally from the Southern United States, the groom's cake was originally thought of as an added expense. It has been making a huge comeback. The whole idea originally was that this was to be a gift from the bride to the groom. Usually made from chocolate or soaked in liquor, it tends to have a much more "masculine" tone than a regular wedding cake. You won't see any rosettes or flowers on this cake.

The groom's cake is a multi-functional cake. It can wear many different hats...such as a dessert at the rehearsal dinner to an alternate bride's cake at the actual wedding. Its normal place is next to the bride's cake, but it is later cut into pieces and put into boxes for the guests to take home and enjoy.

Now let's add a bit of folklore. Tradition states that if a single woman places a slice of the groom's cake under her pillow the same night that she receives it, then she will dream of her future husband. Not sure if any single women have actually done this.

Sliced pieces of the groom's cake can also be wedding favors. If you decide that this option is for you, then be sure to get creative with the packaging. Packaging will reflect the bridal style that you wish to convey to your guests.

Currently the "creative trend" in groom's cakes is to have the cake reflect the groom's particular interests and hobbies. You don't have to do this...you should do it because you want to. Be sure to check though. You want the theme of the groom's cake to be appropriate for the wedding you want to throw. If you are having an elegant wedding, a groom's cake with "modern art" might not fit in very well.
