Grooms Cake

How many of you are planning/thinking of getting one for FH? Now that I looked at all the cute inspiration, I'm at least going to get a quote for one. A girl I went to HS with makes pretty amazing cakes, so I'll check with her and hopefully get a deal. 

Re: Grooms Cake

  • We haven't started looking at cakes yet, but that is next on the list after I get the flowers all squared away. I am definitely interested in getting a groom's cake for FI. I have a coupon for a free 6-inch groom's cake (with purchase of a wedding cake) from a local bakery that I want to contact, so I'm kinda hoping that pans out!

    I was dead set on getting FI a cake, but I just took a closer look at our budget and we're waaaaaay over so there's just no way we can squeeze it in there. :(

    But if I did do one, I'd love to do a cake that looks like his project mustang. That thing is his baby and everyone always asks him about it... And I think I'd make the flavor be mint chocolate chip because that's his favorite flavor and I never let him have it since I don't like it XD

    Now I'm sad.

  • If we do anything, it would be as the cake to serve at the rehearsal dinner/welcome party the night before. Have no idea what FI would like to have on it. He found a funny cake topper which fits us, but it is definitely not going on the formal cake.

  • FI's sister has a culinary background and made him an amazing 21st birthday cake way back when... I'm going to ask her if she'll help me with one for him for rehearsal dinner. I would love to do some kind of video game/ sf giants/ outdoorsmen cake lol... my ideas are all over the place. I don't want to stress her out too much though... she gets really stressed when she cooks... so maybe I'll just do it myself and have her help ME! :D

    Missquela, I'd love to see if you do a Giants cake! For my FI's brother-in-law's birthday a few years ago they got a suite at AT&T park and his sister got him a cake that looked like a Giants hat on top of homeplate, it was pretty cool.

    I make wild cakes as a hobby (about a year ago I made him one that looked like the terrain from a game he likes) So i'm probably going to make him one that looks like D&D sourcebooks. 
  • Probably not having a groom's cake, in the sense of the really fancy shapes and designs.  We're probably not even having a traditional cake.  Maybe we'll get something yummy to serve at the rehearsal dinner and call it a groom's cake.

    </div><div>Going along with the Giants theme - I went to a wedding in March that had a Giants groom's cake. It was made to look like a baseball (round and white with the stitches) and had the "SF" logo on it. It was simple but still pretty cool!
