Is anyone doing a groom's cake? If so, are you using the same bakery as the main wedding cake?
I was planning to get a groom cake as a surprise for my FI, and I would still like too, but I'm beginning to worry about running out of time (August 2010 wedding) and the logistics.
I have a cake tasting with Something Different Cakes on 2/6, and it sounded like she had availability to do one more cake that weekend. And the groom's cake would likely be more intricate than our wedding cake (thinking bold colors / design for our cake, but was hoping to have the groom's cake either resemble a chess set, or one chess piece). Maureen from Something Different Cakes, seems to be very artistic, so now I'm wondering which cake I should have her do. The wedding cake is obviously the must have, but I'm worried that I won't find someone else who is available for our date with the same cake artistry skills.
When you put the deposit down for the cake, are you allowed to change the design of the cake later, or is the type of cake the deposit is for in the contract?
