How About A Groom’s Cake
 |
Just when you thought you have seen and heard of everything in regards to weddings, something comes out to “jazz” it up a bit. We are sure that you have heard of a wedding cake, but how about a groom’s cake? Ever heard of one of these puppies? Well, sit back, relax, and enjoy the rid. We will be discussing the world of the groom’s cake in this article.
The groom’s cake has its origins in the South (South of the US that is). It used to be viewed as somewhat of an added expense at a wedding, but it is making a comeback. It was initially intended to be a gift from the bride to the groom. It is usually a dark cake, and it is often made of chocolate (or liquor-soaked). It tends to be more “masculine” in tone. What does this mean? We mean that there will be no rosettes or flowers on it…get the point?
The groom’s cake is can wear more than one hat. It can be a dessert at the rehearsal dinner while the bride’s cake is utilized at the actual wedding. It is sometimes placed right next to the bride’s cake, and later cut into pieces and put into boxes for the guests to take home and enjoy.
Now let’s add a bit of folklore. Tradition states that if a single woman places a slice of the groom’s cake under her pillow the same night that she receives it, then she will dream of her future husband. Not sure if any single women have actually done this.
Sliced pieces of the groom’s cake can also be wedding favors. If you decide that this option is for you, then be sure to get creative with the packaging. Packaging will reflect the bridal style that you wish to convey to your guests.
The current trend in groom’s cakes is to have the cake reflect the various hobbies and interests of the groom. A nice thought, but you should check to make sure whatever is decided, it fits well with the theme of your wedding. If you are planning a more traditional wedding you don’t want a groom’s cake that takes “modern art” to a whole new level.
