Groom’s cakes are a tradition in southern American weddings but modern brides are bringing the tradition back to life. Weddings can often be all about the bride but a groom’s cake is a fun way to remind him that you remember it is about the two of you. Plus shopping for a groom’s cake is a great way to add a little fun and adventure to what can sometimes be a very stressful planning process.

The cake is usually designed to his interests and served as dessert at the rehearsal dinner. Think about his hobbies, favorite items or just choose something that will make him laugh. Keep it fun and personal like this motorcycle groom’s cake or even this pacman themed cake.

Pacman Groom's Cake

Groom’s cakes were made popular in Steel Magnolia’s which showcased a bleeding armadillo. If you do an armadillo cake, keep the quirky detail that makes it appear like it’s bleeding with either red jelly layers or by using the southern red velvet cake inside. Sounds so delicious

Ok, this really has nothing to do with weddings, BUT since I am such a lover of hot wings I just HAD to post this!!!!

Can you believe this is soap, lol?!!?  This blows my mind!  I found this hot wing olive oil soap on Etsy this morning while trying to avoid working on Modern Girl.  I am probably going to buy it - it’s only a mere $5.  But what if I accidentally ate it?  It looks so good I could see myself actually doing something so idiotic.

Ok, but seriously… maybe you *could* use this in a wedding somehow?  If you are having a backyard bbq rehearsal dinner (like I did, hehe) then you could hand these out as favors!!! That would be pretty cool, I must admit.  Just be wary of hungry young children like myself trying to eat them :p

Actually, this next picture really *does* have to do with weddings!  As I continued perusing this soap shop, I came across these:

Remember my cupcake post from a few days ago?  Well, if you’re thinking about doing funky cupcakes instead of a cake, wouldn’t it be freaking awesome if you gave these little cupcake soaps out as favors?!?  Just wrap them up in some cellophane and throw a ribbon around them and you’ve got a totally sweet (no pun intended, especially since they’re soap) wedding favor!  You would seriously have to warn people that the favors were NOT edible or else you might have a lawsuit on your hands after the wedding.  That yellow one looks so moist and delicious, doesn’t it?

I am beside myself over these freaking amazing wedding cupcakes!!!  Can you believe these are edible???? Maybe I’m overly excited because I feel like I could eat a cow right now and the pictures are NOT helping.

In all seriousness though, I am blown away by the sheer detail and work that goes into these cupcakes.  One, two, maybe three cupcakes… ok, I can see making them.   But imagine doing this kind of work for an ENTIRE WEDDING!  I’ve got to give these cupcake makers props!

Great color scheme - pink coral and aquamarine!

Unbelievable detail

While it would be gorgeous to make a cupcake tower out of these cupcakes in place of your wedding cake, using these for favors would be even better.  Imagine your guests getting to take home such an amazing goodie to cherish and then devour for a midnight snack after the wedding!

I love this one - it has a kind of 1980s Hobby Holly feel.

Looks good enough to eat! :d
