Fighting Illini Groom's Cake from Megan & Charlie's Wedding at the beautiful Hotel Intercontinental Chicago.
If you’ve attended weddings recently where there was not one but two cakes, you may have enjoyed what appears to be a charming new tradition: the groom’s cake. The fact is, the groom’s cake isn’t new at all. With origins in the 17th century, the groom’s cake is really a very old wedding tradition, somehow lost and now rediscovered for the most elegant wedding receptions.
Many couples are designing groom’s cakes baked and iced to reflect the groom’s hobbies or interests. Original and creative, groom’s cakes can resemble the groom’s favorite sports team, favorite food, and in the case of our recent wedding for Charlie & Megan, the Groom’s Alma Mater.
So for all of my Bride’s out there, let your imagination run wild and surprise your guests with a very special Groom’s Cake.
