Groom's Cake

According to Martha Stewart Weddings, the tradition of the groom's cake can be traced back to the Victorian era in England. The groom's cake made it's debut to the US in the South. Groom's cakes are a fun way of expressing the groom's personality. Groom's cakes can depict a plethora of things but typically are a favorite hobby, sport or food. Personally, I always enjoy the groom's cake more than the wedding cake. I wonder why they taste so much better.
Oh and here is a fun lil tidbit I would like to share. An old superstition is that if the single women at the wedding take a piece of the groom's cake home and sleep with it under their pillow they will dream of their future husband. Ladies, this is literally "FOOD FOR THOUGHT." haha
So enough about Groom's Cake history, below you will find some awesome examples of groom's cakes.
Also, I can't leave you without information about some of True Love Nation's favorite local bakers. First, Thierry of Sweet 'Art Festive Cakes bakes custom design cakes that look and taste amazing, visit her website at www.sweetartfestivecakes.com. You can get a taste of her delicious cakes on the dessert menu at The El Paso City Grill. Secondly, Bowie Bakery not only makes the best Pan Dulce in El Paso but is also baking wedding cakes too, visit their website at www.bowiebakery.com.

These two cakes are from the website gallery of Sweet 'Art Festive Cakes by Thierry.
The following photo my friend took at a wedding she recently was a guest at. The groom really likes Chico's Tacos.
