The Groom’s Cake

The groom’s cake is a smaller cake that is served at the wedding  reception. Young women (unmarried) will want to take a piece of the groom’s  cake home to place under their pillows and the old wives tale says “they  will marry whomever they dream of that night.”

We recommend that the  groom’s mother bake the groom’s cake herself.  It can be anything from  fruitcake to chocolate…whatever the groom loves.  You may want to encourage  the bride to wrap small slices of  the groom’s cake in tin foil, wrapped  around with net and tied with a nice bow as a favor to be passed out at the  reception.  Include a little note with each piece of cake explaining the “old  wives’ tale.”
