Groom's Cake?

Are you ladies planning to have a Groom's cake? Almost all the weddings I have been to (in Ohio) have had a Groom's cake at the reception. I told my mom about this and she had never heard of it and didn't think it was necessary. I am kind of indifferent. Just wondering what you all think!

    I am going to surprise my FI with a groom's cake.. It will be nice to have something there that is a fun reflection of his personality, because he has been just the right amount of helpful with all of this wedding planning :)

    I won a free groom's cake at a bridal show last summer and initially, I was going to get it made for the rehearsal dinner. Now that we've chosen our RD location, we'll be doing dessert there, so instead, I'm getting 12 cupcakes made and using them for our post-wedding brunch. =)

    I"m suprising my FI with one.  Its just something extra to show his personality.  I've been seeing it more and more so I don't think its  a southern thing anymore.

    We're doing one even though they're not really big around here. It's one of the few things my FI REALLY wanted- a PacMan cake. It works out well because it's going to be cupcakes and a bunch will be gluten free, which a chunk of my family needs because they have celiacs.

    They're more common around here where I'm from.  My FI mom has taken it upon herself to get one made for the rehearsal dinner.  I have no idea what it's going to look like or be made of.  I'm considering having one made for the reception though.

    We are not doing one and I don't really understand the concept. Shouldn't the wedding cake be for the bride and the groom? Why would there be an extra cake for the groom? Then shouldn't there be one for the bride as well?

    I worked at a banquet center throught college and saw several weddings with them.  We are doing one, just a little differently. We are getting a traditional wedding cake, and then we are making a gluten free grooms for Us....or me to enjoy.

    I'm having one... I love vanilla cake and FI loves chocolate... I don't want chocolate for our wedding cake, so we're going to do a chocolate Groom's cake (sheet cake)... And I'm going to surprise him with doing a Red Sox cake for the Groom's Cake since he's a hardcore Sox fan... My family is diehard Yankees, so I want him to just have a little something Red Sox for the wedding.

    I really haven't thought about it.
    Maybe I'll surprise FI with one, who knows.

    I think the point is that the guy's personality doesn't get reflected in the wedding cake. Usually it's the brides picking it out and making it look like what THEY want, so the grooms' cake is a fun way to show the groom's personality to the guests. Also, if the groom doesn't get his fave flavor, this would be a chance to make it all about him.
