OT: Designing a Royals Groom's Cake for my Wedding

by Bart41 on Apr 26, 2011 12:11 AM EDT

I don't know if a FanPost is the appropriate place to do this. Really, I'm not sure if there's any appropriate place to do this. I'm getting married in a couple months and am putting together a groom's cake. As sad as it is, I'd like to do something Royals themed. Since this is the largest group of Royals degenerates probably on the planet, I wanted to tap into this expertise. As my day job is as an accountant, I'm far from a design expert of any type. Any suggestions you guys might have would be appreciated. Thanks

Here's what I've come up with after thinking about it for a while.

Start with the Phillies cake I found:

I'd like a similar setup except with Royals stuff instead of Phillies. A regular Royals blue hat with KC in white. A pennant like this:

Put some more baseball's and some other Royals' stuff like this:

maybe something like this:

I've also considered doing something with the retired numbers, but I'd rather keep it fun since I'm not really looking to make a diorama of Royals history. I'm trying to figure out a way to work in the fountains and/or scoreboard, but it seems like it could get complicated.

sounds like a great idea...

I think that, if you do go with a logo, you’ve got to use the classic logo. Either the KC or the KC+Crown.

Whatever you do, make sure

that you throw in some sand….because what would a Royals cake be without some extra grit.

I think the Phillies cake is a good starting point.

(It’s a little busy, for me, actually – simplicity is also a virtue.) I would just use the pennant and the crown logo as the main decorations, laid on the cake similar to the Phillies cake. Maybe throw in a couple accouterments if you like, a la the bat/ball/glove – perhaps an homage to the ’85 title, or maybe a little Kauffman Field figurine if such a thing exists?

in 07/08 the Royals gave away

a replica stadium. I’m almost positive you could find one on eBay or the likes.

Good cake ideas! Just a reminder, if in the KC-area, you can have Sluggerrr make an appearance!

He came to our baseball-themed rehearsal dinner for only like $100, but that was 5 years ago. He also kind of sexually harassed my cousin, who was seriously thinking of making a formal complaint, but decided not to. Luckily, I didn’t find out about it until months later. Also, it’s a totally different performer who is Sluggerrr now, so probably you don’t have to worry about him groping your guests “in jest.”

Also, if in the KC-area, I recommend Irina’s Gourmet Cakes (913.963.7085 or mygourmetcakes.com). They did our wedding cakes and they were DELICIOUS. We had 3 – a small “traditional” cake, a cake shaped like the Star Trek logo and a cake shaped like the Millennium Falcon. Totally cool. They were super easy to work with and the cakes tasted and looked great.

Dude!!! Were you at our wedding?

Actually, all of our guests did surprise us with a lightsaber tunnel-thingy when we made our entrace at the reception, but neither they nor we were in costume. And then the under-age set (about 1/3 of our guests) had a massive lightsaber battle on the dance floor. It was pretty awesome. In that none of us adults were injured.

We did use a Leia & Han action figures for our bride & groom on the cake.
