Groom's Cake

Hi All!

So I'm debating about doing a Groom's cake.  I think it would be such a cute idea and a great surprise for him!  I have some questions: 

1.  Are you doing a groom's cake at your wedding or rehearsal dinner?  I think the dinner would be a little better because we will be a small group and I feel like we will actually eat the cake! Our wedding will have our cake and a venetian hour, so I'm just worried I'll spend a couple of hundred bucks and it gets wasted.

2.  Ideas!!!  Anyone have any great pics for inspiration? My FI is a huge sports fan all around...Loves the Yanks. Giants, UFC, Syracuse Basketball etc...so I was thinking of doing a cake incorpating all the logos of his favorite teams...kinda of like the cake below...with a more NY theme of course...

Anyone have thoughts/suggestions? We are getting our wedding cake at Palermo's so I think I would go to them and see what they can design for me!

    I did a groom's cake at the rehearsal dinner.. he loves football and the NY giants, and loves Carvel icecream cake, so I got a football cake, and a football field and they wrote NY giants on it. It was pretty cute, and inexpensive.

    I am thinking of having this cake topper made into a cake for him.  I am going to give it to him at the rehearsal dinner.

    I don't think we are doing one, but I never thought about doing one at the rehearsal dinner!  Good idea!

    I am a diehard Jets fan, I would love that... Everyone seems to be doing it at the rehearsal dinner...

    Sorry about the post Cindy, I don't know it kept being so weird to read!  It was basically ideas about the cake and one link I found..

    I surprised DH with one, but I did it at the wedding instead since the baker was already bringing our wedding cake, I didn't want to bother and pick it up a day earlier.

    I surprised my husband with a grooms cake at the rehearsal dinner. It was brain with a bride and groom zombie eating it, red velvet with cream cheese and coconut filling. It was AMAZING and an incredible price, done by Sweet Samantha. Best vendor of the entire wedding, hands down.
