Our Groom's Cake Was Very Popular

by Gini
(Connecticut)

We were blessed with beautiful late-May weather for our simple outdoor wedding. The apple trees, lilacs and wisteria were all in bloom.

I had a wonderful, hazelnut wedding cake decorated with fresh flowers created by Lorelie of "Lorelie's Luscious Cakes". Now called "Wedding Cakes For You"She must have baked me 3 or 4 samples before I decided on the recipe. They were all delicious, but I think I was asking her to replicate a flavor from my memory.

She had suggested we also have a groom's cake, for my husband love of chocolate. Knowing his love of strawberries, we decided to top it with chocolate-covered strawberries.

When it came time to cut the cake, we wanted something different. So, we chose James Brown's "I Feel Good" as our "cake" song. After being fed a slice of cake, I chose a strawberry and fed that to my new husband then we each turned and offered one to a nearby guest. Soon a line had formed and every one of the strawberries was offered to a guest.

I love that picture of your wedding cake! What was your dress like?

The dress
by: Gini

My dress was beautiful... lots of lace and very fitted.
It was also my "something borrowed" I wore my dear friend Michele's wedding dress, she was one of my attendants, AND it was her 6th wedding anniversary!

Awesome Wedding!

It was truly a unique wedding celebration!

For a Die-hard Eagles fan

My son-in-law is a huge Eagles fan and it only seemed appropriate for me to make him an Eagles cake for the wedding. He had no idea- but it was so easy- I have decorated cakes for years, but I knew I wouldn't have time to do the image, so I ordered it and decorated around it. He was pleased with the result.

Thanks Julie for adding your son in laws grooms cake to the website. Very nice, he must have been so happy with his surprise cake.

Guns and rifles for a grooms cake

by Suzanne
(Newport, ME)

I am searching for the small guns/rifles to put on the grooms cake with my hunting/trapping theme. I already have a bride and groom topper, but wanted to add the guns to them. Do you have these available? Or do you know where I can find them?

Thank you.

Hi Suzanne, I don't have guns and rifles for cake decorations available. I found these cake kits in the photos above that you can find online at cake decorating supply websites. But not individual guns and rifles. My suggestion would be to either use miniatures from a hobby or toy store or make them from gumpaste.

Good luck in your search. If you do find them can you let me now where and please upload a picture of your hunting themed cake. We would love to see it.

Gambling on a chance at Love

A co worker announced they were getting married, but wanted a simple wedding. The husband joked that it wasn't fair that his wife got to "choose everything." I told them about a groom's cake, he was all for it. Yet his wife picked out the theme for it as well LOL! The couple had a beautiful wedding and are still going strong after 5 years.

Thank you Edith, I love this story and the cake is cute. I am sure the groom was thrilled to have it. Thanks for sharing your grroms cake with us.
