Traditionally, the groom's cake is a small,
single layer dark fruitcake with white icing, but it can also be baked in your
fiancé's favourite flavour, or in the
shape symbolic of his special interest or hobby. At the reception, it is served
along with the bride's cake or packed in decorative boxes for guests to take
home as favours. Legend says that single guests who put a sliver of groom's
cake under their pillows on the wedding night will dream of their future
spouses.
