Wedding Trend: Groom's Cakes

Groom's cakes are becoming increasingly popular. They are a nice nod to the groom from the bride:

• The flavor of the groom's cake can be customized to meet the groom's tastes. We get requests for everything from chocolate decadence, to peanut butter buttercream, to carrot and cheesecake.
• The design of the cake can be tailored to the groom's unique and masculine interests (I see the bride in tasting after tasting wanting the groom to contribute his design ideas...while many a groom gladly participates in choosing the cake, it is unlikely they have been dreaming of it since kindergarten!). We have done hunting themes, sports themes/logos, Star Wars, and fireman's hats to name a few. Anything that is near and dear to the groom.

Groom's cakes are traditionally served at the reception, but we think it is a nice touch to serve it at the rehearsal dinner. The day of the wedding is full of so much, while the rehearsal is usually a smaller more intimate affair. The bride will have time to present the cake to her groom, and they can enjoy the moment. Further, since the groom's cake is usually much smaller it can provide a nicely sized dessert at the rehearsal.
