12 Creative and Delicious Groom's Cakes

Sometimes the groom’s cake is just a way to add another flavor to everyone’s dessert options, but in many cases, couples take the opportunity to have some fun with the design. Beer and sports are a common theme to these confections, as are allusions to the hometown, alma mater, or even profession of the groom. A signature style or nickname of the man of the hour may also serve as inspiration for the tasty treat. Depending on the preference and traditions of the couple, the groom may have worked with a baker on the design, or the bride might surprise her beloved during the reception!
