Grooms Cake (coaster)

I'm still not sure what I will have made for my husband-to-be; but I was curious if anyone had ever seen a grooms cake made into a rollercoaster or amusement ride?

If there's just ONE guy who might be able to pull that off, I'd be Duff Goldman at Charm City Cakes in Baltimore.

here's the link to the website:

Some of those cakes are absolutely amazing! The detail on them is insane!

^^ - What they do is not as difficult as it looks. They just have the creativity to do it, for which I give them major, major kudos.

Why am I picturing a 5-year old birthday party cake that you want to use for a wedding? I don't think I've ever seen a cake at a wedding (groom's or not) that is "themed" into a ride or cartoon character.

Maybe you're better off getting a coaster "shape" applied to the top or side in fondant or something like that. That would be more fitting to a wedding - at least in my opinion.

^ - she's referring to a fairly new tradition of having the grooms cake at the rehearsal dinner. Not at the wedding itself. It seems that the grooms cake is generally done quite a bit less formal than a wedding cake is done.

And besides, since when doesn't the bride get whatever she wants on her wedding day?

I know what a groom's cake is. But, I still don't think "themed" cake is very appropriate. But, then again, I don't know what type of wedding this is. I'm still picturing cakes my mom made when I was under the age of 15 themed to cars or whatever. That's just not appropriate for a wedding.

Which is why you get a professional (and not the lady at Meijers) to do it for you.

And besides, the rehearsal dinner/groom's cake gives them a chance to do something more fun with a cake, while still leaving the wedding cake as a more traditionally built and decorated cake.

Except her wedding cake will probably be in the shape of an '88 Camaro.

She should get Adam's phone number. Maybe he can provide entertainment at the rehearsal dinner too. :)

So get over it. Maybe weddings today are a little different than they were back in the early 1900s. Themed weddings are done all the time, in fact, my moms second wedding was a western themed wedding, and the cakes were two horseshoes tied together, are you going to tell me thats not appropiate?

ivyrose, its your wedding, make it special. I think the themed cake would be awesome, and really would make your wedding unique, not stiff and uptight like some weddings can be, I've seen those dozens of times, and if it works for those people great, but let it be what you want.

Get over what? I wasn't on anything. She asked for opinions and I gave mine. So, get over yourself.

^ - well, she actually asked if anyone had seen one.

But I figured you just like giving your opinion so much, and I've been on vacation and have missed some good PB opinion wars, that I was going to let it go for the sake of argument.

You should see his argument with Jeff about how track couldn't possibly be designed and fabricated in a short amount of time...apparently CP has this conspiracy about hiding problems with their rides...

:rolleyes:

Well thank you for the opinions... Ive seen a lot of creative grooms cakes, (cars, owls, typewriter,etc). I am trying to think of something very meaningful that will give a smile from ear to ear. It will be at the rehearsal dinner. Of course the actual wedding cake is a 3 tiered white cake with thin ribbon accents and red & white real roses in between the tiers and 2 champagne flutes in the center. I do beleive in traditional wedding cakes and creative wedding cakes. The real fun IS the grooms cake as it can be anything you can think of that has sentimental meaning to your significant other.

So I guess I still have yet to find someone who had a rollercoaster/ride as a cake.

I was at a rehersal dinner and they had the Millennium Force Trademark Blue Hill. I thought it was neat never seen that before for a Rehersal dinner but hey its there wedding not mine.

Not a "groom's cake" but here is how to make a roller coaster cake.

Tim seems to have an opinion about everything, and if you don't agree with him, well you must just be wrong, right?

Everyone has opinions, Ben. Did I say everyone had to agree with me? Nope. I merely expressed my opinion and everyone else jumped all over it because THEY didn't agree with it.

If she wants to have a roller coaster cake, who the F cares? I know I don't. But, if you post it on a message board, you better be ready to accept criticism, feedback and opinions from everyone. If you don't want to hear anything but praise, get off the effing internet.
