I'm trying to surprise my groom with a cake, probably shaped like an inline skate or if that is too complicated a hockey puck. It's not a tradition where he's from, but I think he'll be pleasantly surprised.
My cousin had one shaped like a cowbell and he rang a cowbell right before he cut it. The other weddings I've been to have not had groom's cakes.
This was the groom's cake at a wedding I went to recently. The groom cut it with a two-handed sword!

Those Texans out there will agree with me that Texas A&M can be somewhat cultish. So, its no surprise that when my cousin Nik got married, his groomscake was modeled after the legendary Kyle Field.
This cake was HUGE...it stood 2 feet tall and weighed so much it took 4 guys to move it. Talk about Aggie Pride. This thing was ridiculous and definitely outshone the Brides Cake (which had camo ribbon on it a la My Big Fat Redneck wedding, but classier).
I'm at work, so I don't have a picture (maybe I'll post it later)!
My husband is a bodybuilder and manages a gym.. his groomscake was a barbell! lol

@smalltownbride - I def know what you mean about the aggie cult - too funny! I need ideas for my FH, too, ladies! Show those cakes off!!!
Best one I ever saw was straight outa Steel Magnolias. Red velvet armadillo cake.
I'm debating on doing a giant dark chocolate Hershey bar because FI LOVES dark chocolate!
We had a grooms cake for the rehearsal dinner and it was home baked by some woman who doesn't speak English and misunderstood what we were looking for. She thought it was for a bachelor party and she sent it to my parent's home with a cake topper of a naaked lady crouching down. If I can find a picture of that cake I promise to post it.

My guy wants a motorcycle cake similar to this from www.wildflowersbylori.com.
My FH loves video games so I was thinking of getting him a PS3 or PS2 cake like below

ours had a scene from jaws on it..where the shark bites the boat and quint gets eaten.
all the kids loved it! (and all the men, too)
a funny one i've seen was the general lee car..
I jokingly told my FI i'd get him a groom's cake with zombies in Ram's helmets on it
I'd never do it of course, but it's pretty funny to think about. He kept saying, "what if the zombies eat you when we're trying to serve the cake" and being dumb, so I gave up. He's got an obsession with zombies. I bought him Pride & Prejudice & Zombies and he loved it. Weirdo.
I loved the lego one that someone posted on here a while ago.
Here's a picture of the cake that FI liked. We talked about making it one layer only, instead of three. And just putting the carved heart on top of the cake. Or leave the heart on the side, and putting our camo cake topper on top. It might be cute like that.
I think the cake is cute regardless. It's just different. What do you think?

BunnyBlue, I agree with you totally! I told FI that I was going to get him that cake. LOL. I don't think he liked that idea too much. LOL
I gotta admit...I love the cake from "Steel magnolias"...the famous bleeding armadilla cake!

Is this a regional thing? I'd never heard of it until we started planning a wedding and have never seen one at an actual event.
Ejs- What is it with guys and zombies? My fiance is obsessed, and I really don't understand it. He just finished reading World War Z, and he couldn't stop talking about it!
Like minneapolitan, I have never seen a groom's cake at a wedding. I have only heard of it from watching the Food Network shows (Ace of Cakes, etc.). Unfortunately, I didn't work it into the budget to have a groom's cake but if I did it would have been the Superman emblem. Superman was my FI's favorite super hero growing up. Him and his Mom reminisce about the time when he had a SM PJ that actually had a cape. I wish they had the pictures because it would have been soooo cute to see.

I'm thinking that groom's cakes might be a southern thing. I'm from Oklahoma and have never been to a wedding without one. In fact it was built into the package that my cake baker had... a wedding cake and a groom's cake all for one price.
I definitely want to have a groom's cake, because although our wedding is up north where I'm from, worcestergroom is southern. I haven't decided yet, but I was thinking about:
-The crest of our undergrad school
-A monopoly board
But then I found this link, which has a bunch of really helpful grooms cake ideas: http://www.weddingbycolor.com/cincybride09/milestones/31662
Now I'm thinking bacon. I don't know why I didn't think of it before... the guy just loves bacon. He has a bacon action figure. His favorite cocktail is made with bacon-infused bourbon, his favorite sandwich is peanut butter and bacon. He will order anything from any restaurant if it has bacon in it. The big decision: do I have the baker incorporate actual bacon into the cake? He would like it, I think... one of his favorite breakfast foods is bacon-waffles, and I imagine it similar to that. It could be a maple-flavored cake with little bacon crumblies baked in. But I think it might be too weird for the other guests.

My fiancee is addicted to Starbucks, so I'm doing a Mocha flavored cake that looks like a starbucks cup, like this one:

I want to get my FI the goorms cake as his gift from me (is that tacky?) I thought it would be a great suprise since anytime we watch any wedding type show and a guy ends up getting a goorms cake he has always said something like "thats sooo coool" or something like that. I dont think he would ever expect it so.
I am either going to have it at the rehersal dinner, or the wedding itself beside out cake, havent decided yet.
He is a big golfer so here were some of the ideas I had;
obviously not with the numbers on the golf ball cupcakes (as they're birthday cupcakes)
My groom is in a kilt and they make the characters on the cake look like us
I don't have any photos yet, but my fiance plays Go competitively, so his grooms cake will be a Go board with little gumpaste stones. Let me tell you, we got some blank stares from several bakers when we were looking for someone to make it!
I *tried* to convince him to get a red velvet armadillo, I even made him watch Steel Magnolias like 4 times, but he wouldn't have any of it.

I'm thinking a canoe... but I really love the Armadillo from Steel Magnolias!!! And he loves red velvet, so... maybe I will do it! LoL... anyways... but for those who are asking... Groom's Cake is definitely a southern tradition!!

I'm doing the Bacon Cake. It is actually mocha with espresso chocolate and fondant topping, but it LOOKS like bacon, and it will be awesome. And I'm from NJ (FH is from DE), so the Groom's Cake is not traditional, but too fun to pass up. Shhh...it's a surprise.

Disregard the kittens, this is a sample I found online. Not a clue what the kittens are about...
