Our Groom's Cake!

This was one of those things I never thought we'd do. I hadn't seen it at any of the other weddings I'd been to, so it didn't make a lot of sense for us to have one. Plus, we'd booked our cake baker, and the cake was AMAZING. Seriously, I don't think I can say enough about that cake.

But somewhere in the back of my head I was a little sad about the lack of personalization of our cake. While we loved how tasty it was, we had to get special permission just to put some ribbon around the bottom. Yikes. We had wanted a pretty turquoise cake, but they only did white icing. Sigh. Then I just remembered how tasty the cake was, and I felt better.

Over Christmas, my aunt and uncle were in town, and my aunt was telling me that her nephew owned a cake making business, Swank Cake Design, in North Carolina, a state away from us. I looked at the website, and the cakes were gorgeous. So I got to thinking, why not? My aunt and uncle promised that if I got a cake from there, they'd bring it up with them.

We decided to see if he could make a cake that looked like penguins sliding on an iceberg, and he could! Plus, we got a 25% discount because we share an aunt! I'm really excited. Are you having a groom's cake? What is it?

  1. We were going to have a Groomscake. It's still a maybe but Edgar wanted his to be an igloo ice chest with Bud Light lime bottles(because our colors are lime green and he works for budweiser) inside and some type of candy that looks like ice. We'll see I guess.
