Serving a Groom's cake is a tradition that is seeing a come back as more couples are
enjoying the fun and creativity that the Groom's Cake offers.

Traditionally the Groom's Cake was cut into small slices and placed is cake bags or boxes for
the unmarried female guests to take home and place under the pillows.  It was said that they
would dream of their future husband.  The Groom's cake was usually a dark cake to contrast
the light color of the wedding or Bride's cake which most often white.  In the 'old' days that
meant it was fruit cake but the tradition evolved to include chocolate.  

Today, the Groom's Cake can be a fun addition to a wedding.  It usually reflects some
interest of the Groom, whether it be his profession, his character or a favorite past time.  
Often the Bride orders the cake as a surprise for her soon-to-be husband. More and more I
have seen the groom undertake the creation of his own cake.  Finally something he can do
with little or no input from the often single-handed, party planning bride-to-be.

Groom's cake can really be served anytime depending on the desires of the couple.  Some
choose to serve it at the rehearsal dinner.  Others serve it at the wedding as an alternative to
the wedding cake.  Because these cakes are often quite intricate and elaborately decorated
my favorite option is to have it on display at the wedding and then serve it as a late night
snack for the bridal party and last lingering guests after all the partying and dancing is all
done or to save it for the next day when newly married couples often get together with close
friends and families as a closing celebration before going off on their honeymoon.

If you decide to get a Groom's cake just remember to have fun with it.

To be honest I didn't make this cake.  It was the
Groom's Cake for the Tiffany wedding of a good
friend.  This is a perfect example of what a groom's
cake should be.  The Bride and Groom did a lot of
wine tasting during the courtship.
