The Groom's Cake

A fabulous wedding tradition is the groom's cake. Typically smaller and more "festive" than the actual wedding cake, the groom's cake is a gift from the bride to the groom. This is a special way to highlight any hobbies, talents or interests of the groom and it can be a neat way to include him in the wedding festivities.

Now, traditionally, the groom's cake was cut and put immediately into small boxes or envelopes for the guests, especially single women, to take home and "dream on". Literally...put under their pillows! Today, this isn't as common and the groom's cake is simply served for the guests to enjoy that evening.

I love how creative you can get with the groom's cakes. You know how much I love it when bride's think out of the box...check out some locals I L.O.V.E....
