When my brother married his wife, it didn't take long for him to settle on what theme he wanted for his groom's cake. Like many soon-to-be husbands, he paid homage to one of his favorite things from childhood — in this case, Calvin & Hobbes comics.
A groom's cake is such a fun way to not only provide more yummy cake for wedding guests, but to show off a side of the groom that makes him unique. Favorite sports teams are a popular option, but as you can see in the examples below, the sky is the limit!
This tradition is mostly seen with couples in the south, but there's nothing stopping folks up north from enjoying the delightful addition to their nuptials too!
Take a look at some of the most impressive groom's cake options that range from lifelike replicas of very non-cake objects to pop culture references.

Believe it or not, this is a groom's cake! Or at least, the computer tower is — the rest is made of fondant and Rice Krispy treats.

The force is clearly very strong with the couple who served this droid.

Don't worry — the dog isn't edible! Just the piano he's playing with his adorable little paws.

According to the Reddit user who shared this cake from his friends' wedding, this was a replica of the tiny home the couple was moving into after the honeymoon!

If you've ever seen Steel Magnolias, you know that this critter is filled with some yummy (if not slightly disturbing) red velvet cake.

I would have definitely assumed this was the real thing before they sliced into it!

Let's hope this big t-bone is well done on the inside…

The sunflower highlights the softer side of caped crusader.
