A significant focal point of weddings is the cake. It’s on display, in
photos and there are traditions that go along with it like the ceremonial
cutting and the bride and groom having the first bite. But it’s often the
brides that take responsibility for choosing its color, flavor and theme.
Lately though, men are taking more of an active role in their wedding day
dessert.
Grooms'
cakes: Behind the trend
In
recent years, adding a specialized grooms' cake has gained nationwide
recognition. Grooms' cakes are an old Southern tradition and I think the
concept has just come around again. It's a fun tradition that many couples are
finding enjoyable and an extra way to personalize their big event.
Grooms'
cakes: Why get one?
Since
today’s weddings are typically planned with the bride’s list of must-haves in
mind, a special cake for the groom provides a simple way to include the groom
in the reception festivities and excitement. It's a fun way to bring a little
personality to an event and make your groom feel extra special. Whether the
groom-to-be is a travel enthusiast, sports fanatic or aspiring musician, it’s
important to recognize special elements of the groom’s personality in a fun and
creative way.
Grooms' cakes: Options
Grooms'
cakes come in all shapes, flavors and sizes and the possibilities are endless. There
are few limitations when it comes to developing grooms' cakes. I’ve created a
golf bag, replicated a sports stadium and even designed an armadillo cake. Additionally,
since most grooms are unaware of their cake, it’s a great way to add an element
of surprise on the wedding day.
Whether
or not you get your groom a cake is up to you and whether it fits into your
overall vision. If you do opt for a second cake to represent the groom, just
have fun with it first and foremost. Choose something that means something
special to you.
