Traces of the Wedding Cake Being Eaten

The first bite is a classic wedding reception performance ♩

From the groom to the bride: "I won’t let you go hungry"

From the bride to the groom: "I will always make delicious meals"

This meaning is well known, isn’t it?

It’s a joyous time filled with happiness where you can see their closeness, love, and intimacy up close ♡

During the first bite, they scoop the wedding cake with a spoon and feed each other bite by bite, so after it's done, the back of the cake looks like this.

Naturally, it ends up looking like parts of whipped cream and sponge have been scraped away.

They say it's called "Footprints of Happiness" ♡

In fact, many people refer to these traces of eating as "Footprints of Happiness," although it’s not widely known ♩

Visually, it appears to be half-eaten and is not particularly pretty, and you typically don’t show it to guests; instead, it's returned to the kitchen once the performance is over,

But these traces of eating are also evidence of the happy first bite the couple shared, as well as a bond between them.

Indeed, in that sense, it’s truly "Footprints of Happiness" ♡

(Unexpectedly, sometimes it might even take on a heart-shaped silhouette＊)

Especially when a big spoon is used, the scraping can be quite large, so it might also become a funny story later to see how much was eaten in one bite ♩

Let’s add it to the instructions!

Keeping the "Footprints of Happiness" as a memory is certainly a good idea ♡

Add "The back of the wedding cake after the first bite" to the instructions you give to the photographer, and let them take a picture of it.

It’s also a nice touch if the atmosphere of the venue and the guests appear in the background of the photo ♩
