"Sometimes a simple snacking favorite can make for a swoon-worthy cake, like this creation by Lisa Ho. Top a cake-style stack of goodies — Oreos, Nutter Butters, the options are endless — with a glitter gold flag and you've got a dessert that'll make your groom and guests go wild."

"Served at my daughter’s 'local reception,' this sugar skull cake by Melanie Powell from Mad Lily Cakery blended the atmosphere of her destination wedding in Mexico with the groom's passion for music. Today, groom’s cakes are designed to bring in the personalities of the groom. We have come a long way from the traditional chocolate layers with strawberries on top!"

"Two words: Doughnut truck. Carpe Donut is a super unique spin on the traditional groom's cake that'll satisfy guests' sweet tooths late into the night."

"I love this sentimental take on cake by Elysia Root Cakes. We like to think the couple saw each other every morning while waiting for the train at the same stop in Chicago...then they fell in love and got married."

"I can't believe this is a cake! A Wish and a Whisk made a hockey-playing cop bear for a groom nicknamed 'Bear.' His bride's nickname is 'squirrel,' so the baker added the cute little critter on his shoulder."

"This groom's cake designed by Laura Jackson of The Flour Garden was good enough for some true 'royals.' The groom was from the UK, and one of his passions is fox hunting. The detail on the fox is extraordinary, complete with the proper hunt coat while popping out of the hedge behind a stone wall. We know what this fox said: 'I do!'"

—Lynn Walker, editor of Southern Bride Magazine

"How cool is this design by Elysia Root Cakes? It’s for the groom who was a party guy in college but then settled down with the love of his life. On the wedding night, surprise him with a cake that reminds him of his collegiate days with the guys, hanging out in the dorm rooms!"

"Sweet and Saucy Shop created this cake for a groom who is a huge boxing fan. They made him a set of boxing gloves completely out of cake with his last name on them. He absolutely loved it!"

"This groom was really into Star Wars, specifically the Stormtroopers, so Pretty Please Bakeshop created a one-of-a-kind cake for him. The wedding colors were black and white, so the helmet fit in perfectly!"

"Of course, what guy doesn't love his car? Pretty Please Bakeshop made an amazing replica of this groom's own custom Lamborghini."
