A Special Showcase of "Vow Cakes": Designing Wedding Cakes to Display Your Promises at the Reception ♩

It’s Wonderful to Draw Marriage Vows on a Wedding Cake ♡
During the ceremony (civil ceremony), the bride and groom sign the 'Marriage Vows' as proof of their marriage. It’s popular because they can present their original vows, which they thought hard about together, to their guests. ♩
However, there are many couples who either do not hold a ceremony or cannot invite friends or colleagues due to the number of attendees, even if they do have a ceremony.
For such couples, we recommend drawing the "vows" on the wedding cake at the reception.*
This is called a "Vow Cake" ♡
A cake that serves the dual purpose of being both a Marriage Vow and a Wedding Cake is called a "Vow Cake."*
You often see this design on Instagram and other platforms, don’t you? ♩
The appeal of the Vow Cake is:
☑ Guests get to hear your original vows.
☑ You can sign with a chocolate pen.
☑ It has a sacred atmosphere like a ceremony while also being a lively cake presentation typical of a reception.
Many brides might be thinking, "A Vow Cake might be nice!"
In this article, we will introduce some designs for Vow Cakes.*
Design of Vow Cake #1*
Here’s a Vow Cake perfect for summer, featuring a white chocolate plate adorned with fireworks and happi coats.
It depicts three vows, all of which convey a sense of family love...!
The names written by the couple with the chocolate pen showcase their personalities, which is lovely!♡
Design of Vow Cake #2*
The Vow Cake adorned with donut motifs of the bride and groom has the vows drawn in a large size, making it easy to read.♡
Initially, it seems the groom signed it stylishly in English cursive, but...
It turns out that the chocolate pen had hardened, and when forced out, it ended up looking Arabic!*
While you need to be careful about the time it takes for the chocolate pen to set, it’s certainly a memorable and funny episode! ♩
Design of Vow Cake #3*
Some might think that Vow Cakes, typically simple and one-tiered, can’t be decorated cutely...
This Vow Cake incorporates the trendy "Fruit Cross-Section Cake" design, making it refreshingly cute!♡
Of course, the content of the vows is essential, but it’s also important to consider how to decorate the sides and top of the cake adorably!*
Design of Vow Cake #4*
While the Japanese Vow Cake has a casual and warm atmosphere,
the English version has a more mature and overseas-inspired design.♡
Making the wedding cake resemble a book, which gives it a vow-like feel, is a stylish and trend-worthy idea!*
Design of Vow Cake #5*
The last one to introduce is also an English Vow Cake.*
The edges of the book are designed to look slightly burnt, giving it a retro and antique-like charm!♡
I want to pay special attention to the way fruits like strawberries and berries are decorated as well! ♩
