A "Groom's Cake" is, traditionally, a gift from the bride to the groom.

It's basically the bride handing over the reins and letting the groom go wild - with one item.

Sounds a little sad doesn't it?

Well the cool thing about the "Groom's Cake" is that even though the tradition is a tad hokey, the creative outlet is great.

Are you planning on having a groom's cake?
I live in California and had never heard of a grooms cake until I went to a wedding in Texas. There, right next to a very traditional white wedding cake, was the most incredible, mouth-watering layered chocolate cake with chocolate frosting covered in strawberries. It was the most DELICIOUS cake I have ever had in my life!! (And I have had SO MANY pieces of cake in my life!!)
ReplyDeleteNow when my friends get married here I always urge to have a grooms cake!!
That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteIve noticed that the grooms cake always comes in fantastic flavors!
