According to an article from Ezines, “It seems that the first appearance of the bridegroom's cake dates back as far as the nineteenth century where it was made as a small cake sweetened with honey that included various kinds of fruit and nuts, These bridegroom cakes were packaged as small individual cakes and given to all the single women attending the wedding and they would then take them home and place them under their pillows while sleeping in hopes of dreaming of their own true love. Alternatively, the bridegroom's cake was one large dark cake that was created to not upstage the wedding cake, which is considered the bride's cake. These larger bridegroom cakes were then sliced and passed around to those in attendance along with a glass of wine for toasting the wedding. Although there has been a loss of interest in grooms cake in other areas, the cake is still pretty popular in many American weddings, especially in southern weddings and seem to be coming more popular as time passes".
