The Groom’s Cake

Rescue Me Groom's Cake

The groom’s cake is an old wedding tradition experiencing a new comeback. In the past, groom’s cakes were often cut and wrapped as favors for wedding guests to take home. An old wives tale claims that if a single woman sleeps with this cake under her pillow the same night she receives it, she would dream of her future husband.

Today, groom’s cakes are still optional additions to the wedding reception or rehearsal although they are gaining popularity. The groom’s cake is traditionally a richer or darker flavor than the wedding cake and is usually given by the bride to her groom. Most brides opt for a cake designed to reflect the groom’s personal interests, career or hobby, sometimes in a very humorous way. If you are lucky enough to live in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut or eastern Pennsylvania areas, you can order and have your groom’s cake delivered from Pink Cake Box in Denville, New Jersey.

Fake Wedding Cake, an Economical Elegance

Wedding cakes can cost from $300 to over $3,000. For a bride on a budget, the thought of getting a cake that is more expensive than her bridal gown is upsetting, to say the least. Our “Economical Elegance” ( ideas for cutting your wedding costs) tip for this month could save you, the bride-to-be hundreds of dollars, not to mention helping you lessen the stress of preparing for your dream wedding without breaking the bank.

Instead of ordering an expensive wedding cake, why not opt for a “fake wedding cake”? These cakes are made of styrofoam and are beautifully decorated. They can stay on display all day long, even outdoors with no worries about bugs or humidity. They look so real, your guests won’t even have a clue it is fake. But, how about the “cutting of the cake” tradition? Depending on which cake rental company you choose, the fake cake can have a “secret compartment” where you can store a real piece for the bride and groom to cut and feed each other. Some fake cake rental companies will have a piece of the sheet cake already cut and placed behind the fake cake. Either way, when the photographs of the cake cutting tradition is over, the fake cake is wheeled over into the dining area and a sheet cake sliced in serving sizes is wheeled out for the guests to partake.
