Which Grooms Cake???- Updated with my Final Decision

I know that the Grooms cake is supposed to represent something that the groom enjoys. I wasn't going to initally do a grooms cake, because of all of the dessert that will be offered at the wedding. After reading Timmy Girls wedding review and seeing the Awesome Xbox cake that she got her DH I had to do it!!! I will be presenting ours at the RD.

Anyway, i just got in touch with my baker earlier, who happens to be a vendor on this board after viewing their website and falling in love with three cakes that really fits my FH.

He really LOVES Chinese food

He really LOVES blackjack

and

He , like everyone else, LOVES money

All of the cakes are within my budget and the baker is willing to do it for me (he usually needs two weeks notice) but I have to give him the go ahead by tomorrow morning

I am so confused

Re: Which Grooms Cake???

although the chinese is original
i like the casino-

-which one represents your FH the most---when you think of him, what comes to mind first?

i think the $$ is funny b/c of how much weddings cost! it's like the only $ we're gonna see now is this cake

Re: Which Grooms Cake???

i think the black jack cake is the most appropriate and cute

i prefer the look of the chinese f ood one but blackjack is more of a hobby and i think would be the best selection

I love them all but I think the chinese food one is unique. They are all so cute it is hard to pick my favorite but I think I am voting for the chinese food one.

I definitely like the money one! That's AWESOME!

Also, a variation of the poker one would be cute, too... maybe just a deck of cards instead of the poker table? I think I just didn't like the people at the poker table in the picture you have, but I LOVE the idea of having a card playing related cake!

(can I be honest... when I saw the chinese food one, my stomach turned a little. lol. Maybe it's just too early to see Chow Mein! lol)

Great ideas! Good luck! I'm going to check out the X-box one you referred to. Sounds cool!

Re: Which Grooms Cake???

All of them are so cute but I like the Black Jack one best.
My FI always gets pastries from Dortoni - I had no idea they made cakes like this (definitely good to know)!
