No! The groom's cake is meant to reflect his personality and can be completely different in style, color, and theme from the wedding cake. It's often a fun, whimsical contrast to the elegant wedding cake.

Size depends on your serving plan. If it's the only dessert at the rehearsal dinner, size for all guests. If served alongside the wedding cake at the reception, a smaller cake (25-50 servings) works well as an alternative option.

Absolutely! Many couples keep the groom's cake design a secret. We can work with the bride, wedding planner, or family members to create a surprise reveal at the rehearsal dinner or reception.

Chocolate is the traditional and most popular choice, but we can create any flavor. Popular options include red velvet, chocolate fudge, bourbon chocolate, cookies and cream, and his personal favorite flavor.

We can create cakes inspired by brands, teams, and characters, but we work within copyright guidelines. We'll discuss feasibility and alternatives during your consultation to ensure your design is both legal and amazing.

The groom's cake typically has its own display table, separate from the wedding cake. It can be in the same room or a different area (cocktail hour, groom's room). We coordinate placement with your venue and wedding planner.

Yes! Multi-tier groom's cakes can feature different flavors per tier, allowing you to include multiple favorite flavors or accommodate different preferences.

We can deliver both cakes together or separately, depending on your timeline and venue needs. If the groom's cake is for the rehearsal dinner and wedding cake for the reception, we'll coordinate separate deliveries.

While we don't recommend traveling with a full cake, we can create a small "top tier" version for you to take, or provide proper storage instructions if you're staying locally before your honeymoon.
