They don't know nothin about no armadillo cakes up here! ;o)
Actually, I'd never even HEARD of a 'Groom's Cake', until some friends got married when we were in college. She was from Connecticut, and her parents brought a 'Groom's Cake' with them down to MS. It was a dense spice cake and it was scrumptious!
My parents aren't from around here...but I still don't really know what armadillo cake is.
Groom's cake from what I've heard is the spice cake you mentioned. But I dunno if that's common!
I'm getting really excited about meeting up with you! It'll be like a little bit of Entmoot. And gosh knows I need some o' that!
Armadillo cake...
To make it you will need:
1 four wheel drive truck
1 Texas county road
1 armadillo, full grown
