ShareThisQ. My fiancee keeps asking me what kind of groom's cake I want. What's the deal? Do we really need one? A. Need? No. Want? Now that's another story. The idea of the groom's cake originated in the South and was intended to be a gift from the bride to the groom. Today, the groom's cake is a place for you to show off your personality amid the ever-so-chic centerpieces and matching cake that your bride picked out (not that you have anything against roses). If you're a golfer, consider a cake that looks like the ninth hole of your favorite course, with you making a hole in one. Or pay homage to your team by using their logo or mascot as inspiration. This is definitely an area where you can go outside the box and have some fun!
