What day should the cake be served?
There are two options for the day the groom's cake can be served. The first being at the wedding which is customary, but some couple's choose to serve it at the rehearsal dinner. I love killing two birds with one stone, so my vote is for the rehearsal dinner. The groom takes a bit of the spotlight at the rehearsal, since his family traditionally hosts this event. I feel it is the perfect time to present the cake to your groom. Secondly, you most likely will be serving dessert at the rehearsal, so why not serve the groom's cake. (Side note: The rehearsal is a great place to allow an "open mic" for toasts, as to not have too many speeches at the wedding. Click Here for a guide to toasting from Table7).
Where should this cake be placed?
The placement of the cake is up to you, but because it does not typically compliment the style of the wedding, a lot of bride's choose to give the cake its own "special" space. If you have a venue with some nooks and crannies to work with, use those to showcase the cake. If you are working in a standard, rectangular ballroom, I would suggest utilizing a corner.What time should the cake be served and by whom is it served?
The groom's cake should be served whenever you choose. There is not a formal "cake cutting" associated with this cake, but customarily the cake is to be cut and served by the groom's family. There are some different options when it comes to the cutting. The cake can be cut and plated along with the wedding cake so your guests have another flavor option, the cake can be cut and boxed for the guests to take home as a favor, or you can use this as your late night snack for those that are hanging on until the bitter end.
