What exactly is the purpose of a Groomsman Cake?

Back in the day, planning my wedding (when pinterest was just a baby and we relied on magazines) I had no idea what a groomsman cake was for. Sure I saw a few at some weddings, but not everyone had it.

Turns out, it’s been a tradition for a long time! As early as the 17th century, both the bride and groom had their own separate cake.

The actually definition of a groomsman cake is this:

Groom’s cakes are usually served at the wedding reception as a second flavor choice to the guests, but are often served at the rehearsal dinner in some regions. Groom’s Cakes are often decorated to reflect the groom’s hobbies or interests, such as golfing, fishing, hunting, or sports.

Tips for getting the best Firefighter Groomsman Cake

Obviously, it’s a good idea to taste some samples, and most people think the work ends there.

In reality, the best cakes come from the follow up AFTER you’ve had the delicious cake samples and agreed on the flavors.

After you’ve tasted samples, chatted about work samples and suggestions you MUST get a mock up. This should be a drawing of exactly what you want with notes. Even if it’s a simple cake with only two colors of icing, it can be a simple mockup. This will help you avoid any surprises and will help you baker give you exactly what you asked for! Because chances are slim that you’ll ever do this again (don’t believe me, check out the numbers on Firefighter divorce for the ultimate truth bomb)

When do you serve the Groom’s Cake?

There are no set rules for when you can serve the cake. The two most popular options are 1.) at the wedding to give the guest another choice of flavor and 2.) at the reception dinner as the dessert.

If you decide to have a groomsman cake at the wedding you’ll be overwhelmed with cake! You can cut it directly after you cut the wedding cake (especially for pictures!) or send it home with guests for later.
