20+ Creative and Quirky Groom Cakes
Why shouldn't his cake be just as involved? A Southern tradition, groom's cakes can be just as elaborate as the wedding cake.

From Lord of the Rings to food themes, this roundup includes a variety of themes; we bet you'll find something for your guy that's full of personality.
