Dessert Performance Ideas ♡

At the Kimpton Hotel in Shinjuku, you can request a dessert performance like this during the wedding reception.

The chef creates an artful and dynamic live performance by painting using sauce on a large plate in front of the bride and groom as well as all the guests, finishing the dessert right there. ♡

It's called "Art Cuisine."

I've seen standard dessert performances like crepes Suzette before, but this artistic one is a first for me!

Since it's a show-type performance by a professional, it's really fresh and exciting for the guests, allowing them to enjoy a wonderful time.

Now, let me introduce what it looks like in reality.

At Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo, this dessert performance can be done by Executive Chef Thomas. (Those who are Kimpton brides probably know him! ♡)

Chef Thomas possesses exceptional creativity. He has experience in multiple foreign-affiliated hotels and restaurants and specializes in artistic and dynamic creations.

One popular reason is that you can order original artwork to be painted.

Here are photos of four brides who had Art Cuisine at their weddings.

👰 For yuzu's wedding

Kimpton Shinjuku is known for allowing pets at both weddings and afternoon teas.

Yuzu (@yuzu_kimpton) requested a painting of her pet dog. ♡

Her current and former pet dogs, two beloved companions. ♡

Yuzu's mother was reportedly moved to tears seeing the portrait of her late dog.

Since it's a live performance, it's enjoyable to see with your eyes, but the fact that it can also become a memorable presentation is truly wonderful. ♡

👰 For ERISA's wedding

This is a photo from ERISA (@je_wd2021)'s wedding.

During Chef Thomas's art performance, the couple enjoys watching it together with the guests. ♡

At the end, they were able to break a large white chocolate sphere in the center together. ♡

Here’s a video from that moment. ♡

The two of them break it with quite a force from a good height, so it’s quite dramatic. ***

Please watch it with sound! ♡

It’s a lovely collaborative performance rather than the typical cutting of the wedding cake or the first bite. ♡

If I were a guest, I would think, “How wonderful to have such a performance!” and would definitely have my smartphone ready in the front row. ♡

👰 For natsuho's wedding

This is a dessert performance at natsuho (@nh_tia_wedding)'s wedding.

This shot composition is lovely too. ♡

After the chef's art performance was finished, they surprised both mothers by inviting them on stage... ♡

They asked both mothers to break the chocolate sphere!

@nh_tia_wedding

It’s kind of sweet that the couple thought of having their mothers do the main finishing touch for the dessert performance. ♡

There’s talk about breaking being a bad omen, but at Kimpton, it symbolizes "going out of the nest," which has a wonderful background meaning of receiving support as they start their new life. ♡

👰 For Natsumi's wedding

Natsumi (@723_2022wedding)'s wedding dessert performance involved a depiction of the starry sky of New Zealand which was painted by Chef Thomas. ♡

New Zealand is the country he wanted to visit the most and is the place they plan to go on their honeymoon. ♩

It’s simply amazing to have a painting of something that is so special to the couple, isn’t it?

@723_2022wedding

Here’s the video. ♡

Natsumi is going on her honeymoon towards the end of this year. It must be exciting to see the real starry sky of New Zealand! ♡

Every performance was wonderful! ♡

I introduced the photos of four brides who had the signature dessert performance "Art Cuisine" at Kimpton Shinjuku Hotel.

Whether it was having a painting of their dog, depicting the starry sky of New Zealand, or having their mother break a sphere... ♡

Despite being the same performance program, you could see the individuality of each wedding, and it was lovely to see both the bride and groom as well as the guests enjoying themselves, making it the best performance. ♡

Thank you to the brides I introduced! ♡

I now want to visit Kimpton Shinjuku! ♡
