When served as a component of the wedding, this is a great place to highlight a chocolate choice such as chocolate fudge cake with raspberry truffle filling or peanut creme filling. We also find that many couples opt to feature carrot cake with cream cheese glace and pecans in their Fall groom's cake.

Pricing for groom's cake varies based upon the design complexity, cake composition, and the flavor and filling components. Basic buttercream designs can start at $1.25 per serving and go upwards of $8 per serving for intricate fondant designs. These pricing guidelines are subjective, however, as I find prices to widely fluctuate in our service area between homebakers and licensed storefront designers. And again, always ask for a taste test, customer referrals, and Department of Agriculture licensure before booking any baker or cake designer.

From beer kegs to briefcases, race cars to reptiles just about anything can be replicated in cake by a talented baker that will honor your groom by spotlighting his favorite hobby, interest or vocation, and add a little whimsy to your reception. Who knows? You may even aid your single friends with cake inspired sweet dreams.
