What is a groom's cake? I don't understand. You get 2 cakes for the reception?
Sorry but I am clueless!

they had one in the movie steel magnolias - in the shape of an armadillo. that's the only reason i know what it is. they served it at the reception though. it was gross - grey icing!

It originated in the south where they DO serve it at the reception...us northerners adopted it with a twist by having it at the RD instead.

Re: Stupid Question...
the thing that bothers me about the groom's cake is that it implies that the other cake is the BRIDE's cake - like everything is for the bride, but lets toss the groom a cake.
Al had more to say about OUR cake then I did!

I believe the tradition is the groom's cake is a rum cake with chocolate icing. Its supposed to be dark I think. But these days most do whatever they want.

I am having one made for the reception that has a fisherman fishing off of a jetty with water and fish underneath him. This way if people don't like the wedding cake they have another choice.
