Grooms Cake? What's the scoop?

We see if all the time, but we also get asked about it... Even event planners we have worked with haven't heard the story behind the grooms cake. Here are a few examples of grooms cakes we've seen. There is no rhyme or reason to the design. It can be anything you/he wishes. So what is it all about?

Here's the scoop. The grooms cake is a separate cake that can be cut up at the end of the night and boxed for a sweet dream take home gift. The story goes, that if you are a single woman and sleep with the cake under your pillow, you just might dream of the the man you will marry. Sweet dreams ladies!!!

I had the opportunity to speak one on one with queen of cakes Sylvia Weinstock and asked about the popularity of the Grooms Cake. Sylvia stated that the grooms cake is generally designed around the grooms interest. If he is a baseball player, maybe his favorite team could be the decor, etc... The Grooms cake should say something about who the groom is. Sylvia has designed cakes for so many celebrities I wont bother you with long list of names. But most impressive about her was to see her in action at her work space in Manhattan. She is very hands on and when we arrived, she was personally boxing up individual cakes for an event that weekend. Proof that stars get to the top by proving each day that its not business, its personal.
