Where did you get your groom's cake? I don't want to spend a fortune (looking in queens or western nassau) I was thinking of a fire engine or a computer, but I'm leaning towards a fire engine....

There's a 'Good Bakeries?' thread around. That should help you. I imagine that most bakeries will do a groom's cake. I'm going to call a couple of them and ask. Good luck!

Re: Groom's cake?
I found this online
The bridal book says its an old tradition that had died out, except in the south, this century. It says it was a smaller, denser, richer cake that was sometimes reserved to share with friends and family after the honeymoon. The book also suggests that bits of the cake were passed through the brides wedding ring for luck and fertility. The cookbook says its a dark, moist fruitcake that is steamed. It is undecorated except for a sprig of fresh rosemary which symbolizes remembrance. One tradition is that the cake is cut into small squares which are wrapped and which guests take home. The guest then sleeps with the bit of cake under their pillow and dreams of the person they will marry. The second is that it is preserved by regular soakings with brandy until the first anniversary.

We're not doing the groom's cake, but it sounds like a lovely idea:)
