Slather the icing over the cake with an offset palette knife.
GROOM'S CAKE
The groom's cake is a dark, moist fruitcake that is steamed. It may be made months in advance and frozen. It is presented unfrosted and golden brown, but may be decorated with one long graceful sprig of the fresh herb rosemary, which symbolizes remembrance. There are two traditions associated with the groom's cake. One is that it is cut into small squares, which are then individually wrapped to be given to each departing guest to take home. One slips the cake under his or her pillow that night in hopes of dreaming of the person he or she will marry. The other custom is to either freeze or preserve the groom's cake-by regularly dousing it with brandy-until the first year anniversary celebration. The anniversary couple eat a piece and share the rest to celebrate. You will need a plain, round mold, 8 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep.

Steps:
- Grease a round 8-inch pan, 3 inches deep. If you don't have one, use any straight sided round mold at least 3 inches deep. Whatever you use, it must fit into the steamer pot.
- For the steamer, use a Dutch oven or a large pot with a cover; fill with approximately 2 1/2 inches of water. On the bottom of the pan put a small wire rack or Mason jar ring, which will lift the cake pan just enough to allow the water to circulate freely. Place over medium heat and let the water heat while you prepare the cake batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until it is smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and blended. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until light and fluffy.
- Stir the lemon juice and grape juice together in a small bowl.
- Combine the flour, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves, and stir them together with a fork or whisk.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter sugar mixture alternately with the combined juices in three parts, beating until smooth and blended after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest, raisins, citron, and almonds, and mix well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Cover with a double thickness of foil, pressing it snugly all around the edges to seal. Set the pan on the rack or ring in the steamer, cover tightly, and let the cake steam for about 2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure the water hasn't boiled away in the steamer and replenishing if necessary. After 1 1/2 hours insert a wooden skewer or broom straw in the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Remove the cake from the steamer and let it rest uncovered for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely. Well wrapped, the cake will keep for about a week at room temperature. Freeze it if you are making it more than a week ahead of time.

From brides.com
Author Molly Allen
- Admire an Alma Mater. Want to highlight a love for an alma mater, or maybe even a particular football team? Ask your baker to create a structure that looks just like one of the campus buildings.
- Showcase a Passion. Hiking may be a favorite pastime for them, or you may enjoy heading out on the trail together. Celebrate with a groom's cake that embodies that passion by featuring a hiking boot, a backpack, or another piece of gear.
- Recreate a Favorite Drink. Wine lover? Who knew you could have an entirely edible cake that resembles a prized bottle of wine in a wooden box! You can definitely take this idea and run with it for a bottle of wine, or switch it up to feature a favorite whiskey, bourbon, or even beer.
- Embrace Cheese. Planning a groom's cake for someone who hates sweets? Go the savory route instead. Opt for wheels of cheese and stack them into a cheese cake for a unique display.
- Honor a Love for Sports. If you're looking for a groom's cake for a sports lover, this would be the ultimate surprise. Work with your baker to create a cake centered around a favorite team.
- Make a Sweet Statement. This cute cake symbolizes a passion for hunting, but it also makes a statement. After all, once you find your spouse, the hunt is definitely over.
- Create a Display of Brownies. If they're obsessed with brownies, why not lean into it? Ditch the traditional cake and put together a display of his favorite brownies for a sweet touch.
- Dress Up a Character. Obsessed with Star Wars? You may not want to feature a character cake on your wedding day, but there are ways to dress them up! We love this cute R2D2 from Star Wars cake, dressed up in a tux for the occasion.
- Recreate a Textile. If you're embracing a western vibe, you can still incorporate it into a cake design. We love the way one couple chose to feature a groom's cake that matched a Ralph Lauren fabric.
- Keep It Cool. No matter the occasion, nothing beats a cold beer. Surprise your groom with a cake designed just like a Yeti cooler like this one. Of course, it was decked out with ice and a few bottles of beer to complete the fun design.
