Are you someone who would rather spend tons of money on your future than on your wedding? Do you think a 5 figure number is better spent as a down payment on a house? If so, a unique Groom’s cake is the cake for you.
Unique Groom’s Cakes for the Thrifty, Hip Bride and Groom
Originating in the south, Grooms cakes were created for the single ladies. The cakes were sliced and boxed, then sent home with each of the unmarried women. Later that night, they would place their boxes under their pillows in the hopes that the men they dreamed of would become their future husbands. Thankfully, Grooms cakes have evolved. These fun and fashionable cakes are making a comeback. Nowadays, Grooms cakes are most often created as an accompaniment to the wedding cake and as a way for the groom to express his personality. For thrifty couples, a Grooms cake replaces the traditional cake, as a fun and cost-efficient alternative.

Whether you’re the bride or the groom (and have been given the freedom to pick you own cake), the funnier and more personable, the better. Stumped? Consider these fun ideas.
