What In The Wide World Is 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.
Originally from the Southern United States, the groom\’s cake was originally thought of as an added expense. It has been making a huge comeback. The whole idea originally was that this was to be a gift from the bride to the groom. Usually made from chocolate or soaked in liquor, it tends to have a much more \”masculine\” tone than a regular wedding cake. You won\’t see any rosettes or flowers on this cake.
It is a very multi-functional and adaptable cake. For example it can be used as a desert at the rehearsal dinner while the regular wedding cake is used at the actual wedding. It usually sits right next to the bride\’s cake, and is later cut into pieces and given to the wedding guests as a tasty treat that they can enjoy later.
How about a little \”tradition\”? Tradition states that a single woman should place a slice of this groom\’s cake under her pillow on the same night in which she receives it. Know what will happen then? She will dream of her future husband. Not sure how many single women have actually done this.
If you slice up the groom\’s cake and put them into nice boxes or creative packaging, they can be used as wedding favors. Be sure that whatever packaging you decide on, it fits well with the bridal style that you are wishing to convey to your guests.
Currently the creative trend in groom\’s cakes is to have the cake reflect the groom\’s interests and hobbies. You should do this because you want to, not because you are obligated to. You should also ensure that the theme of the groom\’s cake is appropriate for the wedding you want to throw. If you want an elegant wedding, having a groom\’s cake that looks like modern art might not fit into the puzzle very well.
So there you have it. The story behind the groom\’s cake. Would you be interested in getting a wedding cake topper to sit on top of it? If so, we can help you out. Follow us over to our blog for some great wedding cake topper suggestions.
