Grooms Cake: Fender Stratocaster in Sunburst

When I met this couple, the idea of doing a guitar cake was at first a thrill. Then we met with the terror of details, accuracy and expectations. We got to work making all the little pieces, and the neck, and when it came time to build the body, we faced our largest challenge: a full size guitar wouldn't fit in our industrial fridge, no matter how you angle it. We built the guitar in two pieces, the body and the neck, and waited for the final assembly until two hours prior to delivery (no pressure!). Below is the final cake and some detail shots highlighting our love and labor week. BTW, we are WAY cooler now because we have a detailed knowledge of a really cool guitar!

Above is a photo of a real Fender we used as inspiration to build the guitar

Grooms Cake Fever

Grooms cakes, a tradition here in The South (Yes, Orlando is in The South), show the personality of the groom, and the whimsy and fun side of the couple. At The Sugar Suite, we always encourage the couples to put the grooms cake on completely different table than the wedding cake, ideally on the other side of the room. The elegant and statuesque wedding cake should never have to compete with a fun or funny cake.

What do these cakes say about their grooms?
