Checkerboard Cake

Here comes the groom:

Bring back the tradition of the groom's cake in the South, the groom's cake is a longstanding tradition. Historically, every young unmarried woman who attended the wedding could get to take home a piece of this delicious cake. It was thought that by placing the cake under her pillow, she soon find a husband.

Today, the ancient tradition of the groom's cake is making a comeback, with spectacular results. Decorated to reflect groom's interests, hobbies, or career, the groom's cake can be served at the rehearsal dinner, an event separately, or even alongside the wedding cake at the event main.

The following are some great ideas for choosing a wedding cake item.

1. Sports:

groom can enjoy a cake decorated with the colors of your favorite team, or to resemble a soccer ball, football or baseball. A fun and unique idea is taking a simple rectangular sheet cake, and decor that resembles a football field or basketball court, with the objectives of miniature or hoops (check your toy local) and players (plastic figures).

2. Pastel formal dress:

another fun idea is to decorate a cake sheet with fondant or icing to look like the front of a suit or tuxedo. Do not forget to add a bow tie or tie ice and as an edible boutonniÃ ¨ res.

3. Games and Hobbies:

find what the groom has passions, and try to play them in the cake! A chessboard, a fish cake grooms, a poker table, or even a golf course can be done using the cake and icing.

4. Traditional wedding cakes:

If you are not ready for the challenge of creating a themed cake, delicious cake and groom can have attractive more traditional style. Similar to a small scale wedding cake, the cake of a traditional groom can have multiple layers and a cake topper, but try to use more "masculine" colors and patterns, such as brown, beige, or Burgundy, and chessboard or geometric patterns.

A "Mad Hatter" style cake is a unique and crazy wedding cakes. However you slice it, with wedding cakes will delight the bride, groom, and attendants. It is also an excellent way to show the groom's interests, favorites, and abilities. Remember, weddings are no longer just about the bride! It is time that the groom cake makes a comeback.
