Groom's Cake
Who's doing one? I would love to surprise FI with something. The only dessert at our reception will be the wedding cake. The layers are yellow with chocolate frosting, red velvet and a vanilla pudding something or other. Pretty basic. I would love to add a little something extra. FI loves strawberry cake and frosting and cheesecake. The recent cake/cupcake thread made me think about a cupcake tower.... or should I consider something other than cake. If so, what?

OH, to answer your other question {lol}, I got one for Babe. It was a regular 10" round cake with chocolate covered strawberries in his favorite flavor.

[QUOTE]How cool would that be!!! I think I'll do the strawberry topped cheesecake (for a little variety). Ok, dumb question..... <font color="#ff0000"><strong>how do you avoid sharing it?

I would guess that you'd have it out for photo opps or whatever. Then the venue people should know NOT to cut it. After yall cut the main cake, before they start serving it to guests, maybe they can take it back to the fridge. Or something like that. As long as they know not to serve it, you should be good.
