Traditionally, does the bride surprise the groom with the cake or does the Groom know about it and help pick it out?
Also, is it normally served at the wedding or at the reception?
Lastly, can anyone reccommend a bakery in the Lindenhurst or Islip area that makes them and whats the average price for grooms cakes?
Thanks girls--im totally clueless on this one!

Re: Question about Grooms Cakes
I am getting the grooms cake as a surprise for my FH. He knows nothing about it. And I'm having it at the rehearsal dinner. I think that's the traditional way to do it. But do what you like!

Re: Question about Grooms Cakes
wow -- even $75 seems steep to me. I was hoping for more like $50
My FH kind of already knows about it, but maybe I can pick it out myself and surprise him at the RD with it?
