Wedding cake not shared with the guests?

I’ve seen it on a number of occasions where there is a cake and it’s not shared with the guests. Its usually cut by the bride and groom for the purpose of pictures and then left to the side, or is just left on display without being touched/cut throughout the ceremony. I’m assuming it’s then taken back home by the family who bought it in the first place.

But why is it that people don’t always share it with their guests?

Sometimes the bride and groom have a huge family and the cake is only enough for them (not enough to also feed the guests). So, they may make up for it with some other dessert.

I personally would prefer the cake to the desi desserts…but as long as they served dessert…they’ve provided the guests with a complete meal.
