So, I have had quite a few questions about what the actual purpose is of the Groom’s Cake?  This prompted me to go in search of the true history and purpose of the Groom’s Cake. 

I found some helpful information on Wedding Channel.com.

A groom’s cake has its roots in the South….The groom’s cake can serve many purposes, from dessert at the rehearsal dinner, to an alternative choice to the bride’s cake at the wedding…. And believe it or not, legend has it that single women are supposed to sleep with a slice under their pillow the same night they receive it — and if they do, they will dream of their future husband. Boxed slices of groom’s cake can also serve as your wedding favors.

A current creative trend in groom’s cakes is to have the cake reflect the groom’s interests and hobbies. For instance, a recent groom’s cake we loved was in the shape of a skyscraper - the perfect choice for the groom, who was in New York real estate.  Other options are a cake in the shape of a set of golf clubs or a football confection with the mascot of his favorite team.

I think that this is really the best way to incorporate your groom into the whole planning because he gets to pick out and decide on something that will be a reflection of him.  Trust me he will really appreciate it!!!

Now, of course I went in search of the craziest and wackiest groom’s cake and here’s what I found.
