Forgive me, I took these pictures with a cell phone camera. This is my "sugnature" cake I guess. All three wedding cakes I am booked for this year take on the scroll swirl design and theme.
The two bottom tiers are white cake with cream cheese filling, the top layer was carrot cake with cream cheese filling. This particular bride (who was a redhead) loved my carrot cake so she specifically asked for the top layer to be her personal cake. :)
The grooms cake* was a dark chocolate sheet cake with a fudgey basketweave on the side of the cake. The bride chose the You Tube logo on the cake because the groom loves the site.
More on the traditions of the grooms cake: A groom’s cake has its roots in the South, and although it used to be viewed as an added and unnecessary expense, this once-neglected cake has been making a huge comeback. Intended to be a gift from the bride to the groom, the groom's cake is usually dark and designed with a nod towards what's traditionally considered "masculine" Although you do not need a groom’s cake, you just may want one. The groom's cake can serve many purposes, from dessert at the rehearsal dinner, to an alternative choice to the bride's cake at the wedding. It's customary for the groom's cake to be displayed next to the bride's cake, and later cut and put into boxes for guests to take home. And believe it or not, legend has it that single women are supposed to sleep with a slice under their pillow the same night they receive it -- and if they do, they will dream of their future husband. A current creative trend in groom's cakes is to have the cake reflect the groom's interests and hobbies.
