Having worked in a bakery setting since I was 18, I've seen my share of groom's cakes. Actually, I had never heard of the groom's cake until I started working in a bakery. Most of them are chocolate cake with a golf or foot ball theme. My best friend's groom went with a caramel cake, which was very delicious. This one really takes the cake, though.
The Black Widow Bakery came up with the best groom's cake I've ever seen. There's not even any fru-fru cake to ruin the manliness of it. It's a meat cake. The layers are made up of meat loaf, with a special glaze filling, and mashed potato icing. The decorations were created with that same glaze, which is made from Worcestershire sauce , brown sugar, and ketchup.
All the details are here. I'm pretty amused by this cake. I actually think it's a really neat idea. Have you seen any really great groom's cakes recently?

OK, it's not made of meat, but there is fondant "meat" as part of it:

It also has an advantage of having enormous Ding Dongs!

I've seen a few of those meat cakes over the last couple of years, and they never fail to make me salivate.

I think this would be fun for a family reunion I have coming up. Very cool idea, even if you don't have a wedding coming up.

I think it is a very unique idea. It looks really good, and I'll give it a try! BUT: - I think you could've shared the recipe WITHOUT using all the vulgar words. I was disappointed about that.
