There is a girl on LIW that makes custom cakes and they are amazing. Give me a minute so I can figure out her screen name.

Also....can someone tell me what the point of a grooms cake is....is it like a NY tradition? I am from here (FH is not) and we never heard of this till now!

Re: Can youpost pics of grooms cakes

I found this...

Traditionally, a groom's cake was sliced and boxed for the unmarried girls attending the wedding to take home and place under their pillows in hopes that the man they dreamed of would be their future husband. Groom's Cake has come along way since then. Today the cake is meant to be a reflection of the groom's interests, whether it be one of his hobbies, favorite sport, alma mater,profession, etc..

or...

The Groom's Cake still retains the concept that it is a gift from the bride to her groom, a special way of honoring him and including him in wedding ritual. The Groom's Cake is a second, sometimes a simpler version of the wedding cake, with one or two layers. While the wedding cake is served to all the wedding guests, the groom's cake is used for extra pieces that are packaged into tiny boxes with ribbons or into envelopes, for guests to take home and 'dream on.' Sometimes the small packages are displayed on a table for guests to help themselves. The Groom's Cake may also be used as a way to include children and others who could not attend the wedding, a way of allowing them to 'share' in the couple's good fortune. Incidentally, there is a superstition that holds the notion that a bride who keeps a piece of her wedding cake will have a faithful and loving husband.

Oh great thanks. I am still not sure if I am doing one. I am trying to decide between 3 different themes and figure out if I have the $$$ for it. I got a quote for a Jets Helmet Cake from the LIW girl for $125 about. Feeds 20 people.
