2017.08.25 published
Do you know about "Soap Cut"?
The classic performance at a wedding reception, cake cutting.
Recently, instead of cakes, it's become popular to cut into hamburgers or chirashi sushi, known as "〇〇 cut".
Among these, have you heard about the unusual performance called "Soap Cut"?
When you think of soap, you might picture a small square bar, but… it’s hard to imagine someone cutting into it with a knife at a wedding, isn’t it?
What exactly is "Soap Cut"?
The soap used is a "LUSH" whole soap*
In fact, the soap used for "Soap Cut" is not the small household bar you might be imagining.
It's a large round soap that looks just like a whole cake! This is a whole soap from the British bath product manufacturer "LUSH".
At first glance, you wouldn’t even know it’s soap. It even looks like a big pudding♡
Normally, "LUSH" soaps are sold in small 100g pieces, but you can purchase them as a whole if you inquire. The price is about 15,000 yen*
Among "LUSH" whole soaps, the type particularly used for "Soap Cut" is the "Honey I Washed the Kids" variety.
Most of the images of "Soap Cut" posted on Instagram also used "Honey I Washed the Kids"♩
Why "Honey I Washed the Kids"?
Many of you might think that for a soap cut resembling a cake, it doesn’t necessarily have to be "Honey I Washed the Kids," right?
While it can be done with other soaps, there are two overwhelming reasons why brides choose "Honey I Washed the Kids".
The first reason is its "appearance". "Honey I Washed the Kids" has a look resembling a two-layer caramel cake♡
If it were a colorful and vibrant soap, guests would quickly realize it’s not a cake, but with "Honey I Washed the Kids," only upon closer inspection do they notice it’s soap.
By decorating it with ribbons, flowers, or cake toppers, it can look like a natural cake from a distance♡
By having the emcee announce, "Actually, this cake is soap!" it can surprise the guests♩
The second reason "Honey I Washed the Kids" is chosen is its "scent".
Many "LUSH" soaps have a strong fragrance, but "Honey I Washed the Kids" has a relatively mild, sweet honey scent.
It is favored by past brides to ensure that the soap scent doesn’t interfere with the guests’ meals during the soap cut.
Finally, it can also serve as a small gift♡
The charm of "Soap Cut" lies in being able to cut the prepared soap into smaller pieces and use them as small gifts*
Since "LUSH" soaps are popular, they are well-received by guests♡
It's a wonderful thing to have a unique collaborative performance while also serving as a small gift, don’t you think?
However, since cutting and wrapping will take time and effort, it’s good to consult with the wedding venue♩
