What’s a groom’s cake anyway?
To Groom's Cake, Or Not To Groom's Cake? So many of our couples come in and ask if they need a groom's cake, and what is it, and do they really need it?? So much of a wedding is traditional, and done just because that is "how it has always been." But traditions vary from region to region and change over time. We've found that here in Denver Groom's Cakes are fun and done in about 10% of the weddings we create.

According to Wikipedia, "a groom's cake is a wedding tradition originating in Victorian England,[1] but observed more often in the modern age in the American South.

Less expensive option to ombré ruffle wedding cake
Our brides have been bringing us gorgeous photos of fondant ombre ruffle wedding cakes recently, and are disheartened to learn that this wedding cake costs significantly more than they thought due to the hours involved. So, we came up with two more offers to help easy the pain of the added expense. The first is to make several colors of buttercream and ombré them up the cake while ruffling the buttercream. The second, and least expensive, is to do the ruffle in white buttercream and airbrush the ombré on the buttercream of the wedding cake. Both are lovely and beautiful substitutions to the traditional fondant ombré ruffle wedding cake.

What is a groom’s cake for?
Everything from the wedding colors to the suit the groom is wearing is a reflection of the bride. Groom's cakes are a small bit of the wedding that celebrates the groom and his interests. It can sit next to the bridal cake at the reception, or it can be the dessert at the rehearsal dinner.
