Groom’s Cake

Ever since Ali and I started talking about planning our wedding, she would ask me if I wanted a groom’s cake, which is a southern tradition.

For those of our friends and family that live in the north and never heard of a groom’s cake, it is essentially a cake for the dude that resembles something that the groom loves. In all the wedding videos that I have edited, I have seen some pretty crazy cakes, ranging from hunting and fishing scenes, to a cake that looked like a cooler full of Miller Lite beer cans.

And how can you mention a groom’s cake without mentioning the cake from Ali’s favorite movie, Steel Magnolias, the Bleeding Armadillo cake.

I always thought about it, but as we we planning our budget, and keeping it tight, I always said that I didn’t need one.

That is, until today.

As some of you may know, I am a huge fan of the Angry Birds iPhone game, and just this week I saw an article about edible Angry Birds cake toppers.

Uh, yeah. One Angry Birds groom’s cake, please.
