Question from a Bride and Groom:  What is a Groom's cake?  Do we have to have a Groom's cake?  When is it served?

Response:  A Groom's cake can be served at the wedding or at the rehearsal dinner/party or not at all.  It is your choice.  The Groom's cake usually reflects his favorite hobby or his job or his favorite sports team and/or his favorite flavor of cake and icing.  This particular Groom wanted a chocolate cake with chocolate icing.  This cake was served at the wedding reception, it was on the cake table next to the three-tiered wedding cake.
