A Stupid Question... What Is A Grooms Cake?

I guess that we don't have them around here. lol. DO you have them at the actual wedding? I know that every wedding I've ever been to has only had the actual wedding cake. Does it serve a special purpose? THank you for reading my really stupid questions.

First of all, the only stupid questions are the ones not asked. Now to answer your question, a groom's cake is usually a chocolate cake made for the wedding. I *think* the main reason is due to some people not being too fond of the "boring white wedding cake". To offer an alternative, they started making a chocolate groom's cake as well as the typical white wedding cake. HTH
EDIT>> Here's the answer according to USABride.com
The grooms cake is suppose to be a gift from the bride to the groom. In ancient times, it was believed that if a single woman put a piece of the grooms cake under her pillow, she would dream that night of the man she would marry.
This cake is usually dark, liquor-soaked, CHOCOLATE, or deep chocolate fudge. The cake would be displayed next to the wedding cake and later cut up and put in small white boxes for the guests to bring home.
Sometimes the grooms cake is served at the reception as an alternative or SECOND DESSERT choice. Until recently, many couples had chosen to forego the groom's cake, as an unnecessary expense.
However, the grooms cake has made a recent comeback. It has shown up as dessert at the rehearsal dinner or a "late night snack" to be enjoyed with the wedding party. It makes for a great surprise, a few laughs and who can resist a deep, double chocolate fudge cake?
Many are getting creative with the grooms cake and making it in various shapes and styles to match the grooms personality or a particular interest or hobby. How about a cake in the shape of a golf club, computer, boat, or a slot machine, just to name a few
They're very big here in the Kansas City area too. They usually do reflect an interest of the groom and are given as a gift from the Bride. The one's I've seen have always been chocolate or a combination of flavors. The coolest one was shaped like a chest board and had chocolate made playing pieces.
I see them quite often around here too. I have seen them at the wedding. However a couple of friends sent them with the bachelor party (it was held two days before the wedding) then what cake was left over was at the couples house the following day for the gift opening.
Just a couple different ways to do it.

My brother's grooms cake was a banana cake that he loves. It had all the wedding guests raving and wanting the recipe.
thanks girls, I knew I could count on you for the info. I have also never heard of the gift opening "party" either. Most people around here are LONG gone on thier honeymoon. haha.
