Re: groom's cake

not everyone has them.... many people have one at the rehearsal dinner
all it is is a cake in the shape or has the theme of something your FH loves or one of his hobbies
i dont know the reasoning behind it...but i think i am going to do it at our little get together the night before

oh and i think but not sure ...it is chocolate

Re: groom's cake

you might want to check out the 'seventh avenue cafe' in Franklin Square. They might do groom's cakes there. If not, check with your catering hall. They might be able to recommend someone, better yet go to vendors helping brides and post a message there . By the way, love your date

Re: groom's cake

I think the groom cake idea started as a southern tradition. Traditionally, it is cut at the end of reception, boxed and given to guests to take home. I think it was usually a fruit cake. Now a lot of brides surprise their FHs with them at RD or reception.
Im having one made for FH in shape of xbox video game system and controller. He doesnt know about it and Im having it at reception.
We are getting it from Audreys (they are also doing our wedding cake)
