Are you thinking of having a cake for the groom at your wedding? It’s simply a smaller cake that honors the groom, as the wedding day is usually all about the bride. The most popular version was seen in the 1989 movie Steel Magnolias, where the groom’s cake was a red velvet cake in the shape of an armadillo. The groom’s cake is a time-honored southern tradition that has made a major comeback with weddings from Atlanta to Sacramento.

The cake is generally designed around the groom’s hobbies and interests. So, if the groom’s favorite sport is NASCAR, some of today’s most talented cake designers can craft a cake into an actual car.
