Advice: groom's cake?!

Hey Ladies!
    I'm kinda stuck :/ . My FH says he doesn't care if there's a groomcake or not- he's happy either way. So I was thinking I was going to have one made for him as a surprise anyways.
   I was wondering what your thoughts were. Like did you have one or no? If you did, was it a success? If I do have one, should it be themed?

Something tells me I've been watching too much cakeboss...help!

    cakeboss, LOL!  Who knew you could have a show focusing on cakes. 
    As for the grooms cake, I know that some ladies surprise their FI with a groomscake at the rehearsal dinner...so that could be an option.  As for the theme, maybe you can have them make a cake designed to fit his favorite sports team(s), or any other hobby.

    I'd never even heard of a groom's cake until The Knot. If he doesn't care for it, why spend the money?

    Agreed.  I would spend the money elsewhere, or even better, save it!

    We had one but it wasn't anything fancy like on cake boss - it was of his fraternity seal.  He loved it and so did his fraternity.

    In fact, my sorority sisters were impressed too.

    Didnt have one & didnt seem the point of having one. I bet he does not even know about "grooms cake".
    I do think that IF you do have one, Rehearsal Dinner would be the perfect place to have one =D

    thanks so much for the advice ladies!!
    I think I'm definitely going to do a groomscake at the rehersal dinner with both my sorority and his fraternity seal. I think it'll be a surprise for everyone!
       I won't be spending too much, thank god. My cousin makes amazing cakes and I think I'm going to have her do this one!
    so excited!!! :)

    I would save your money as well.  I don't think I've even seen one at a wedding.
