Everybody thinks of the classic groom's cake as a chocolate cake with strawberries or chocolate-covered strawberries.
This was one of those groom's cakes where I was given free reign on the design of the cake. My only guideline was the color scheme. Green was the bride's splash color. So I started thinking of something other than strawberries that I could use to garnish this cake. As my picture has already given away the surprise, I finally settled on grapes and kiwi fruit.
Now at some point someone bought me one of those fruit garnish kits, you know, like they use to make the edible arrangements? Well I got out my "V"-shaped knife and used it to cut the kiwis. I really liked the pattern and texture it brought to the cake.
The monogram was a backup I had originally made for the bridal cake, but since both arrived safe and sound, I decided to add it to the groom's cake at the reception hall. I think it turned out pretty nice. I bet you're green with envy, right?
