Not Just Cake Cutting! 6 Types of 'First Joint Tasks' You Can Do with Your Wedding Cake ♡

Classic Performance, First Collaborative Work ♡

The "First Collaborative Work" of the couple cutting the wedding cake ♡

The tradition of cake cutting has been a staple in wedding receptions for about 30 years. It is a lovely performance that embodies the meaning of "Together, we will build a happy family."

The scene of the couple snuggled up in front of the wedding cake is also a representative photo opportunity of the reception ♡

Collaborative Work Isn't Just Cake Cutting ♡

However, because it is such a classic performance, more brides are beginning to think, "I want to do something other than cake cutting."

This has led to the creation of unique performances that involve collaborative work other than cake cutting ♡

You can retain the beautiful meaning and photo opportunities of "first collaborative work" while adding your personal touch ◎

This time, we will introduce six innovative collaborative performances using wedding cakes. Let’s take a look! ♡

First Collaborative Work Performance ① Color Drip

The first to be introduced is the 'Color Drip,' which has rapidly gained popularity in recent years.

This performance involves the couple pouring sauce over the wedding cake to complete it ♡ Thinking about which sauce to pour on what design of cake is also fun ♩

While it is well-known among brides, there are likely still many guests who have not seen it in person (I have attended over ten weddings in the last few years but have never seen it myself...!)

It is recommended for those who want to try something new in their collaborative work ♡

First Collaborative Work Performance ② Signature

Next, we have the performance where the couple signs a wedding cake with the words of their vows written on it ♩

A wedding cake decorated with vows written in chocolate is called the 'Contract Cake' ♡

Finally, it's a cake that can be shared with guests, serving as a delicious wedding certificate. It’s a fun and lovely performance.

First Collaborative Work Performance ③ Eye Insertion

Recommended for couples in hakama and colorful kimono attire is performing eye insertion on a 'Daruma Cake' ♡

The traditional custom is to insert an eye into a Daruma doll when making a wish and insert the other eye once the wish is fulfilled.

This performance, where both partners insert the eyes with chocolate, will surely be appreciated by friends as well as older guests!

For a Japanese-style wedding, eye insertion on the Daruma doll is a perfect choice for your "first collaborative work" ♡

First Collaborative Work Performance ④ Adding Fruits

From here, we will introduce new collaborative performances that complete the wedding cake by "putting something on the cake" ♩

This couple is adding strawberries to their wedding cake together.

The key point is that they arranged the cut strawberries in a heart shape ♡ They completed the message "I♡U (I LOVE YOU)."

First Collaborative Work Performance ⑤ Adding Cookies

Next, we have the performance of adding cookies. Let the couple place cute icing cookies as accents on the wedding cake ♩

This couple signed their names on the cookies with a chocolate pen before decorating the cake with them. What a lovely idea ♡

To ensure guests far away can see what they are doing, it’s recommended to use larger cookies.

First Collaborative Work Performance ⑥ Adding Cake Topper

Finally, we have the collaborative performance of placing a cake topper on the wedding cake.

Any type of cake topper is fine! Many couples seem to choose figurine cake toppers that represent the couple.

The sight of the couple gently placing the cake topper is incredibly cute ♡

This can be done with any cake design, and many venues allow you to bring your own cake toppers, making this the easiest collaborative performance to incorporate from those introduced this time＊

A "First Collaborative Work" That Represents You Two ♡

We introduced performances of "first collaborative work" using wedding cakes.

Since collaborative work is strongly associated with cake cutting, guests are likely to be surprised.

Please perform a collaborative work that reflects both of you, filled with the sentiment of “Together, we will lead a happy life” ♡
