    Some people serve it at the rehersal dinner. Some people serve it at the wedding to accompany the actual wedding cake. It's all up to you. I am having one made for FH and at this point am thinking we will have it at the rehersal cookout :-).

    You just serve it with the rest of the cake.

    One thing to consider is that it could actually save you money. Depending on the intricacy of the wedding cake, it can be very expensive per slice. If you get a less expensive groom's cake and serve that, eliminating the need for as many slices of wedding cake, it can be less costly. It also adds variety.

    We're serving the groom's cake at the wedding, and it will be chocolate, while the main cake will be white. Also, I ordered it without telling him, so the fun design and other things that go with it will be a surprise Smiley smile

    Since I can't find a reasonable baker to make us a Batman-inspired wedding cake, the grooms' cake will be Batman, and I'll probably be doing it myself since that is my forte! =0]

    But it definitely does save money, my actual wedding cake won't be as big =)

    We are going to serve ours with our wedding cake. His favorite cake is red velvet so that is what we are going to have. And we've decided to go to a bakery and say it's for my nephews bday--- bc I'm not paying for 2 "wedding" cakes. hehe

    We're serving it at the reception as an alternative to the wedding cake flavor. Wedding cake will be pink champagne and groom's cake will be red velvet so that gives people an option.

    Red velvet! Ahh! Has anyone seen Steel Magnolia's? Or am I the only one? I was in the play in high school and all I think of is "Bleeding Armadillo!"

    Anyway... Hahaha. I love the idea of a groom's cake and I'm glad you asked this question because I've kind of been wondering the same thing! I always thought it was served at the rehearsal dinner, myself. But I like the idea of having variety at the wedding.

    I've been told that a grooms cake is for all the single women at the wedding, as a luck in love thing. I'm thinking now I want it for my BBQ rehersal dinner. I'm going to do cupcakes in a "minesweeper" theme. FH plays minesweeper whenever he can lol so old school I love him!

    My good guy friend got married last sept and they had a grooms cake for him (he collects monopoly boards and it was in their wedding colors as a board way cute) but we honestly never saw them cut into it. Way weird. Maybe he wanted it all to himself ;-) But yeah if we did it (which we aren't..we have an overabundance of cake as it is) we would be serving it with the wedding cake as alternate flavor

    Occasionally speaking wedding cakes are stacked cakes. Different flavors of cakes are mixed as per different layers.

    For occurrence one layer could be a butter layer, the other one could be a vanilla pound layer, etc.

    The groom’s cake design is customarily a fruit cake. These cakes were frequently used in revelry since the advent of the 18th century.

    The unmarried female guests at the wedding would place a box which contained a piece of shady fruit cake, under their pillow at night, so they could dream of the person they would marry.
