Groom's Cake

Who's doing one? RD or Wedding Reception? I was thinking of getting a red Lambo one for FH because that's his dream car (and red is our theme). Anyone recommend any bakeries?

When do you serve the groom's cake?

Re: Groom's Cake

we were thinking rehearsal dinner or at the wedding.. im debating cos i know we'll already have a cake at the reception, but if i serve it at the RD i'm thinking people may not have a chance to eat it (i have a huge bridal party n feel like everything's gonna be crazy).. and if i serve it at the wedding then at least it'll be in pictures and FH can look at his cake and i can look at mine? lol i dunno.. suggestions ladies please

When do you serve the groom's cake?

Normally it is served during the reception - there just isn't a formal cutting 'ceremony' as there is for the wedding cake.

However, with viennese (sp?) hours and make your own sundae bars cropping up at weddings, a lot are having it at the rehearsal dinner.

Re: Groom's Cake

We plan to have one, especially b/c my groom is from the south and this is a must have southern tradition. We will have it at the reception but it will be in a different location than the wedding cake. It will be a different flavor from the the wedding cake. Traditionally its chocolate with a fruit filling or other decadent topping etc. I will most likely have the club serve a normal slice of my wedding cake with a small piece of the grooms cake on the same plate. This is usually how I see most places handle it.

Re: Groom's Cake

we're having one, its a surprise as to the design but FH knows he's getting one. because our hall comes with a vienese hour, we're going to have it at the RD.
