Groom’s Cakes and Cake Boxes

 I love a groom’s cake. While it’s been a strong tradition in the South, I’ve been seeing them more and more frequently as a nod or homage to something the groom loves without worrying about it “fitting in” with the bride’s decor scheme.                                                                                                     

  (Most of us will remember the bleeding armadillo cake from the “Blush and Bashful” wedding in Steel Magnolias)

  Here are some of my favorites groom’s cakes that I’ve seen lately. 

This blackberry cake via Confetti Cakes is hilarious. 

In the olden days, legend had it that if a woman slept with a piece of the groom’s cake under her pillow, she would dream of her future husband.  Who knows if that’s true, but slicing up the groom’s cake an placing it in an adorable favor box is a great way to kill two birds with one stone (or have your cake and eat it too, if your feeling punny).  Have your catering manager slice up the cake and place it into these great favor boxes ideas below for the guests to take home with them.
