The grooms cake is a charming tradition most commonly practiced (and originating) in the South (anyone remember the "bleeding armadilla"??) Although it certainly isn't necessary to wedding planning and probably won't be missed if you decide to skip it, it's one of those " special touches" that will be remembered.
More often than featuring a grooms cake at the reception, we are seeing it featured at the rehearsal dinner. These cakes can be anything from the grooms favorite cake (red velvet! cheesecake! donuts!) to a cake designed in the shape of his favorite sports team, pet, article of clothing, book, etc. etc. etc.!
Grooms cakes are meant to be a cute, fun addition. Go all out - be outrageous, even, but let him choose what he wants! Don't stress over it and if you decide to have one - remember, this cake is about him.
P.S. Surprising him with his special cake is a very sweet way to show your groom how much you love him. But only surprise him if it's with a cake you know HE will love!
