The Grooms Cake

Grooms are usually not the focus of attention in the wedding planning process, one of our previous posts “Grooms Guide to wedding planning’ featured the tasks that a groom can do in assistance with wedding planning. But there is one more thing that the Groom can do and that is designing and planning his ‘Groom Cake’.

The groom cake is a cake that is often times a reflection of the groom’s quirkiness. This cake is usually decorated around the theme of things that represent him. They usually feature classic ‘guy stuff’, such as, football, the steelpan, a cricket bat or their dream car.

Most wedding don’t feature a Grooms cake. And often times I am left wondering ‘why not?’ 

The answers are usually: “It would take the attention of the main cake”, or “there wasn’t any plans of having one”.

This cake is a way for the groom to express himself on his wedding day.

Although, the concept of the groom’s cake originated in Southern America, it has been growing popular around the world lately. The contrast of the formal wedding cake to the groom’s cake is the fact that this cake is one that usually make people laugh and is different from the Traditional Fruit Cake in Trinidad.

This cake can either be red velvet, chocolate or sponge if it’s the personal preference of the groom.

So grooms, here is one wedding cake that you will have the pleasure in designing and planning for. This is one of the truly awesome moments in your wedding celebration that that is totally a representation of yourself.

With this cake you can, in your own way, have a uniquely remember-able wedding.  It would not only be remembered for how beautiful the bride looked, the decorations, the wedding party, the wedding cake or even the food, the simple sight of ‘your cake’ that is not too common place in a wedding, could somehow add to the festivities and laughter that would make your wedding truly a joyous occasion.
