If you want to add a little fun to your reception, and also want to do something nice for the man that you are about to marry, think about getting a grooms cake made up. These are usually cakes that are set aside as an alternative to the cake you are going to cut together. These are usually a more rich cake, and the cake is often a very fun way to celebrate a hobby or personality trait of the groom when so much of the wedding usually focuses more on the bride than the groom.
One of the best features of the grooms cake is that it does not have to look like a traditional wedding cake. In fact, most of them look like anything but a wedding cake. They look more like a really great birthday or special events cake. There are some very creative ideas out there for a grooms cake that you can find if you search online. If you can imagine it for a cake, someone may have already done it. If you have watched any of the shows on TV that show cake companies and their creations, you have seen some examples of what people have done for these cakes.
The grooms cake can and should be a different flavor than that of the wedding cake. Many grooms like to have a deep chocolate cake or something rich like a spice cake as long as it is different than the wedding cake. This can is usually much smaller than the wedding cake, and can be eaten during the reception so people have more dessert choices, or you can save it for later. Much like the top of the wedding cake can be saved for the anniversary, some of this can can be as well if you choose.
If you don't want to have a grooms cake at your reception, this is something that you can have at another time. For the most part, these are usually served on the wedding day, but traditions are often broken, and this is a rather new one anyway. You could have it at his bachelor party, though you would not be there to enjoy it with him, or you could have it if you are having a couples shower rather than a bridal shower as more and more couples are doing today.
The adventurous bride could make the grooms cake on her own if she has the tools to do so. These are easy enough to find if you have an idea as to what you want to do for the cake. If you are not sure, ask friends and family what they think most fits with his personality. It could be that you have more than one idea for the grooms cake and you have a hard time choosing which one would be best. If this happens, think about the one that would be more obvious to everyone else. You want them to look at the cake and think that it fits him to a tee.
