cutting the cake
Dividing the celebration
Cutting the cake is the ceremonial moment at a wedding reception when the newlyweds slice the first piece together, often followed by playfully feeding each other.
The phrase marks the transition from formal ceremony to celebration.
More broadly, it can mean dividing resources or rewards: When it comes to cutting the cake, everyone wants the biggest slice.
