Personally, I think it is rude !
I made a 2 tier cake for my friend K, for her sons' christening a little while ago - it was a brunch affair & she had cocktail food provided for about 90 guests.
The cake was displayed on the table,everyone was oohing & aahing over it and after maybe a couple of hours, she made a speech then thanked me for the cake & said " we'll be cutting it up soon" .
An hour or 2 later, still hadn't cut it ! Some people were delaying their departure because they wanted some cake - so I asked K when she was going to cut it up . " Oh, I'm not going to now, everybody is probably way to full & there is sooo much cocktail food leftover. Hubby will take half of it to his work tomorrow - the staff will love it ! & I'll just freeze the rest."
Am I too oversensitive ? Some people ( inc. myself ! ) did want cake !!
I know it's her cake and she can do whatever she wants with it...but really??
So nice of her to decide what everyone else wanted. How pleasant!
I felt like she was saying that the staff her hubby works with deserved the cake more than her guests !
That's what I was thinking....
That and are his office co-workers all gifting the baby (to deserve a slice of freshly made, custom decorated christening cake).
Jan, I had saved room for cake ! I wasn't particularly interested in the bland cocktail food

Maybe she had decided the cake would be easier to pass around and get eaten then left over cocktail food and she didn't want left overs there.
I'm not sure what I would have done, but cakes around us, get eaten. 
After it is cut and we have had all we can eat, does it get sent to work for others.

Why is there an issue with left over cake? I take already cut up left over cake to work all the time. Those maniacs always dive right in. And when it's all said and done, it's just cake - it's not the end of the world if you throw some away.

I don't know why she was worried about left over cake,there would have been plenty of people putting their hands up for it !
