Guys like sports, so it goes without saying that I do a lot of sports team cakes for my grooms. And since I do a lot of wedding cakes in Georgia, Georgia Bulldog cakes are all the rage! And since every couple has different needs, I try to offer something that can fit any couple's wedding budget.
This oval cake is a great option. Simple buttercream cake with fondant ribbon edge on top and bottom and a "G" topper cut from black modeling chocolate. Even a simple design can make a big impact!

Notre Dame Groom's Cake
This past weekend, I delivered this groom's cake to The Chattanoogan Hotel. This is the mascot of Notre Dame's Fighting Irish. I don't know if this fella has a name, but he's far too cute to be mean, right?
I made the logo by taking a graphic from the web and converting to a Cricut Cut file using my Sure Cuts a Lot software. I broke the logo into 4 parts: navy, yellow, green, and white. For the navy layers, I cut the entire image, one big blue Irishman (about a foot high). Then each of the colors got cut and placed on top of the navy layer, just like a great big jigsaw puzzle. It made it look like the navy was outlining all the other pieces.
This was by far my largest and most elaborate Cricut project to date. If you're attempting something like this, my advise is to put all the pieces together and get them just like you want them and then go back and "glue" them down with piping gel or tylose.
West Virginia Groom's Cake
Any Mountaineers in the house? How about peanut butter fans? If so, you are in for a real treat!
I started with a 16 inch square cake and carved away a lot of excess using a template I made by printing out the logo to the appropriate size. Then I used that same template to cut out the the yellow and blur top from fondant.
I then cut up an entire case of Reese's Peanut Butter cups to fill the cake board.
This groom's cake was delivered to Trevitt Hall in Dalton, GA.

Chattanooga Outdoor Camping Groom's Cake
A lot of you are much better at sugar figurines than I am, so when I got this order for a "less cartoony" representation of the bride and groom, I was visiting lots of places on the web and printing out tons of examples.
Our couple here loved the great outdoors and were very specific that the cake include a black bear, a tent, a canoe, and some fallen tree logs.
This was a one of those cakes where I got the hubby involved, and as usual, he came up with some neat (unusual) ways of doing things. He made the rocks by tearing some hunks off some modeling chocolate that was still hard and had not yet been kneaded smooth. I was very surprised at how "rock-like" the crumbly modeling chocolate looked. He also made the hollow logs. He started with a piece of rolled brown modeling chocolate. He made some "bark" lines and then flipped it over. He then took a log of modeling chocolate (think big Tootsie Roll) and then rolled the thin bark piece around it, letting the thin bark hang over the tootsie log and ripped the ends to make it look jagged and natural. Again, I was impressed by my little hubby. I guess watching all those cake shows and keeping me company in the kitchen really paid off!!
Have a great week!
