First Collaboration Work ♡ Cake Cutting is an Important Event at the Reception!
The cake cutting where the bride and groom slice the wedding cake is a classic and significant event at the reception ♡ It symbolizes the couple's first teamwork, the sharing of happiness with everyone who celebrated their marriage, and carries the auspicious meaning of opening the door to a happy life together ♩
How about a 'Unique Cutting' that Leaves a Greater Impression than a Cake, Emphasizing the Couple's Personality? ♡
Cake cutting is a classic performance, but for some guests, it might already be a bit familiar... The reception is about entertaining guests, so why not introduce a performance that incorporates something other than cake, utilizing the couple's individuality? ♡
This time, we’ve gathered seven examples from Instagram where experienced brides shared, “We tried cutting something other than a cake ♡”
Cutting into something other than cake ♩ Unique Cutting ①: 'Sweet Treats Other than Cake'
For example, simply cutting into sweet items other than cake can create a different kind of presentation ♩ Cutting into a large pancake evokes memories of "Guri and Gura," offering a delightful return to childhood ♡ Plus, pancakes are easy to slice and serve ◎
A Baumkuchen cut involves the couple cutting a whole giant Baumkuchen while rotating it together ♩ The tree ring pattern of the Baumkuchen symbolizes prosperity and longevity, making it an auspicious choice as well ◎
Cutting into a sweet and adorable donut tower is also a fantastic choice ♡ The height of the donut tower makes it visually appealing, and it's easy to distribute one to each guest ♩ You can also put effort into the design of each donut, like chocolate-covered or sugar-coated ones ♡
If you have a traditional wedding, we recommend 'Cutting into Manju' ♩ When you cut into a large Manju, colorful bean paste is revealed inside ♡ This surprise makes it a perfect performance for the cutting ceremony ♩
Cutting into something other than cake ♩ Unique Cutting ②: 'Meat'
For couples who want to offer something that pairs perfectly with alcohol rather than sweet treats, the meat cutting is particularly popular ♡ The sight of a huge piece of meat makes a significant impact ♩
While some guests may not favor whipped cream in cakes, there’s no one who dislikes delicious meat, so the appearance of meat will surely delight the guests ♡ If you opt for a roast beef cut, you can serve it to the guests immediately after the cut ♡
Cutting into something other than cake ♩ Unique Cutting ③: 'Tuna'
For couples focused on impact, we recommend tuna cutting ◎ Cutting into a tuna and then offering pieces for the first bite is incredibly memorable and amusing ♡ Just wait for the groom’s strength when cutting!
If directly cutting into a whole tuna feels too challenging, why not cut into pre-portioned tuna blocks instead? ♡ The sight of tuna arriving on a boat gives a good auspicious vibe ♩
