If I did one, it would probably be a Mr. Met cake. I think an '06 bride did one and it was so cute!

LOL ... THIS is the Mr. Met cake I was referring to!!!! I would love to do it, but it's soooo huge. I wonder if they'd do a smaller version.
ETA: I just saw your edit - yep EXACTLY the one I meant!

I love showing off the cake I had. It was displayed at the reception then taken back to the hotel for the brunch. You can see where the limo driver put his thumb.
my sisters who only got married a few years ago, never heard of them?
Why do we do them again? Isn;t the wedding cake for both/ all of us?
just curious??
THANKS!!

I found this explanation online: 'Having its roots in Southern tradition, the groom's cake has been around for quite some time and is making a fashionable comeback on the wedding scene.
Traditionally, a groom's cake was sliced and boxed for the unmarried girls attending the wedding to take home and place under their pillows in hopes that the man they dreamed of would be their future husband. Groom's Cake has come along way since then. Today the cake is meant to be a reflection of the groom's interests, whether it be one of his hobbies, favorite sport, alma mater,profession, etc.. It's a personal choice when to serve the cake - either at the rehearsal dinner, as an alternate dessert with the wedding cake, or as a late night dessert for the wedding party. Just because primarily groom cakes tend to be a fruit cake or a chocolate cake shouldn't dictate what the bride and groom should have. Obviously being named 'Groom's Cake' it should be a flavor and theme that the groom enjoys. '

From what I've heard it's a southern tradition of red velvet cake. These days they use them at RD's or reception. Usually something manly (prob since everything else is usually so girly!!)
