If I am at the party, I usually get roped into cutting the cake. The excuse used to be that they didn't know how many pieces to cut it into, now it's because I always do it and I'm so good at it, so I should just continue. I am kind of torn by this one. As some have pointed out, we spend hours making sure every detail is just so. I created it, I really don't want to destroy it. But then again, you take a zillion pictures so you have proof of your awesome artistry, and someone pass me a plate!
I'm always so tired of looking at my cakes when I'm done that I seem to have that "Good Ridons" (sp?) attitude!!! Plus I tend to be too much of a perfectionist with them, so I start thinking well...It doesn't LOOK good, so maybe it will TASTE good!!! 
I feel a twinge of sadness, all that hard work... but I get upset if they don't cut the cake, i worked hard and want it to be eaten and enjoyed... Ive had several times when no one would cut the cake because it was "too pretty".. and I had to go do it myself otherwise no one would eat it.
Nope... I get impatient waiting for them to cut it already! I love the reaction of "it tastes as good as it looks!" That's the best part.
I do hate to be the one cutting the cake. 
It seems like I always get stuck at the cake table. I'd rather have someone else do it so I can enjoy the party! 
Nope - doesn't bother me in the least. Wacko! (But I think I'm the weird one.) After taking the picture, I'm done, done, done with them.......
Some artists I know have an extremely hard time even selling their items. They think of their pieces as their babies. I have never had this issue with any of my art work.
Why just this week I got a dumpster to clean out my storage area to set-up for my sugar sculptures and I threw out all of my paintings and pottery. Good-bye and good riddance......now onto my next lovely little sugar creation.
Ok, the only time I am sad about a cake is when I make a paid cake,cause then they take it home and I can't get a piece!!! Most cakes I make are for family and friends and I'm usually there to enjoy a piece.
Take a picture, cakes are for eating. 
ps: I hate when there are left overs also.
I want my cakes to be eaten and enjoyed. I don't want to go through all that work for nothing. At the same time I've made it my hard and fast rule that I WILL NOT cut my own cakes. Sometimes I've had to grab a knife and give it to someone and make them do it, but usually I just go in the other room and wait for DH to bring me a piece
Usually when I finish a cake, I am just really glad it is done. The cutting and eating is good closure for me, so I actually like it.
It does for a second. Like a bandaid, but then it's over. Then there is enjoyment when people are enjoying the cake!
