During the Victorian era, the first groom’s cake was a very heavy and dense fruit cake that eventually became a flour cake, either white or chocolate. The tradition was to cut a piece of the cake and put it in a small box, and then give them to the unmarried women that attended the wedding.The cake was never eaten, but put under the pillow of the single woman giving them the hope that they would find a husband. Groom's cakes are traditionally served at the wedding reception but can also be served at the wedding ceremony. It is more proper and considered better etiquette if the Groom's Cake is served separate from the Brides table as not to take away from the Bridal cake. Traditionally grooms cakes are chocolate and most often garnish some type of fruit. Although, most are a reflection of the Groom's interest such as Golfing, Fishing, Hunting etc...Groom’s cake is a tradition most popular in the southeastern United States that began during the Victorian era, inherited from Britain. In the 1890s, a choice of cake had already been established in America. In the 1890s, the groom’s cake was referred to as the “Lady Cake or Plain Bridegroom Cake”.This recipe was published in the “The British Baker" in 1897.In those days the cake was cut by the bridegroom and served with wine to the bridesmaids before going to the church.In England neither practice was met with success, but in the United States, especially in the southern part of the United States, the two cakes did become very popular with the bride's cake being light and the grooms' being dark.
