For years, a groom's cake has been a wedding tradition in the South (i.e. the red velvet armadillo cake in the movie Steel Magnolias); however, more recently, it has became rather popular and common at ALL weddings. It is usually served at the rehearsal dinner or as a separate dessert at the actual wedding reception. Although the wedding cake is often a white cake, the groom's cake tends to be chocolate or something a bit more exotic. It also takes many forms usually reflective of the groom's hobbies, favorite sports team, interests, etc....and, that's what brings us to this John Deere cake made for Mandy & Matt Wise's rehearsal dinner. The cake is chocolate with buttercream icing, fondant accents, and even some chocolate dirt. =)
