“A wedding and a funeral” was comedy and it can only happen in movies. Weddings are supposedly happy occasions, with laughter wafting through the air and bright smiles flashing around.

What could better picture a fun couple than a humorous wedding cake topper? The figurines presented below can bring a twinkle to the eyes of even the grumpiest guest.

NOW I HAVE YOU

OH NO! YOU DON’T!

RELUCTANT GROOM.

RIDING THE GROOM

The last one actually looks kind of sexy.

The dainty look of this white groom’s cake is offset by a topping of nuts. Shara decorated the side of the round cake with tiny dots, reminiscent of an ostrich-skin handbag. However, the crushed pecan topping growls “eat!” and what can be more manly than that?

Shara has a special note about this wedding cake,”This wedding was finished by the bride. She did the custom stand and arranged the cupcakes and final cake.” Almost a DIY wedding cake. We like the simplicity of the ensemble and the notion of convenience by using cupcakes.

Wedding Cake Hints has added a new category for groom cakes and we will start with Shara’s striking red and square groom’s cake with chocolate swirls. Will it make a passionate hubby?

Is it Groom’s Cakes or Grooms’ Cakes or, simply, Groom’s Cake? Anyway, Wedding Cake Hints has now a category for the groom. We always wondered if the groom’s cake tradition was as old as the wedding cake. According to this delightful little article at BellaOnline.com, the groom’s cake was actually called the wedding cake while the wedding cake as we know it today was called the bride’s cake. The question was, who wore the wedding gown back then?

In addition, the tradition of the groom’s cake, as we know it today, began in the Southern United States. Groom’s cake designs sprouting up sure are totally different from traditional wedding cakes,  often based on the personality of the man rather than the theme of the wedding.  Ah, well, let ‘em have hope.

It’s a bit early for spring wedding cake designs, but Shara’s all-white wedding cake with basket-weave design can be also the center of attention of a winter wedding banquet. It has 3 round layers and topped with a whispering bride and groom.
