The 20th century saw the tradition of the groom's cake re-emerge in North America from its English Middle Ages roots. The belief was that if a single woman put a piece of this cake under her pillow, then that very night she would dream of the man she was to wed.
The groom's cake was also a perfect candidate for the means to display wealth during the Industrial age of America.
However, in modern times it is more often than not used in the rehearsal dinner, or as a second cake in the wedding reception.
Up until about thirty years ago, the traditional fruitcake was widely replaced by the introduction of either a chocolate cake, or humorous novelty cake as groom's cake. It can serve as a contrast to the whiteness of the white 'bridal' cake.
Humorous and novelty cakes are also quite favourable.
