In the great southern tradition, the theme for the Groom's Cake is a surprise for the groom and is chosen by the bride. Think back to the classic scene in "Steel Magnolias" where all the women are having a discussion about a red and gray cake in the shape of an armadillo. That armadillo was the groom’s red velvet cake that Shelby was planning to give her husband to be.
The main wedding cake has often been called the Bride's Cake. Some think that the Groom's Cake is a relatively new tradition. It is a southern tradition, but it was originated in the 17th century, so the Groom's Cake is really a very old wedding tradition somehow lost and now rediscovered.
Will you be getting a grooms cake?
