Before we started making one cake, the "wedding cake", there was a bride's cake and a groom's cake. The groom's cake was for those guests who would like to take a slice home with them. It was usually made with heavy fruitcake because of it's durability and that it is capable of keeping for a longer period of time.
Nowadays, you can find groom's cakes in shapes and decorated with anything the groom favors (sports, hobbies, etc) to something the couple enjoys doing together. This is where a lot of creativity can come into play and this can be a fun thing for you to cultivate together, or let him have full control over this one.
There is a little myth that went along with the groom's cake that you can pass on to all of your single girlfriends.
- Have them take a slice of the groom's cake home with them and put it under their pillow. That night, she will (supposedly) dream about the man she will marry.
Will you have a groom's cake?
