Southern Sundays: The Groom's Cake Part 3: The Design, Wedding Traditions | Table7 Events

Now to the fun part of the groom's cake!  What exactly should this cake look like?  This answer is going to drive you Type A bride's absolutely nuts.  This cake has absolutely nothing to do with the theme, style or color of your wedding.  So, if you need to hide it in hallway to make you sleep more easily go for it.

The easiest part is deciding what is going to be happening on the inside.  First of all, it should be HIS favorite flavor for sure.  The old rule was chocolate because the wedding cake used to always be made of white cake, but now those rules are out the window.  I love the idea of infusing the cake and/or filling with his favorite alcohol such as whisky, Baileys or bourbon.  Maybe his favorite candy bar is a Butterfinger, so that can be incorporate in the filling.  Majority of my groom's love, love, love spiced or carrot cake which is a great option.  If your man loves white cake, have the batter dyed his favorite shade.

Now comes the hard part, based on everything your groom-to-be loves, what is this cake going to look like?  The exterior should reflect his interests, hobbies, career, personality, alma matter, or a mixture of everything he loves.

Now tell me that you are as unsure about this banjo being a cake as I am!!!
