You can't always have your cake and eat it too... unless you're part of the catering staff.

A TikTok went viral after a caterer posted a video showing what happens behind the scenes to leftover wedding cake from a couple's most memorable day.

The video sparked some serious debate.

In the nine second video posted by @justinerosegargan, two caterers in the kitchen had some good-natured fun when a third voice was heard off camera saying:

"Erica bite off the cake."
"Right off the cake."

To many viewers' shock "Erica" did, biting off a sizable chunk directly from the wedding cake.

The antics of these caterers created a major divide in the comments, with many TikTokers weighing in.

The video racked up almost 3 million views, over 67,000 likes, and nearly 600 comments.

Text overlay in the video read:

"This what happens to your leftover wedding cake."

Another portion of text read:

"But did we get fired?"

While many TikTok comments voiced strong disagreement with the caterers' behavior, others argued it made perfect sense to eat the leftover cake if everyone at the event had already been served.

People defending the actions in the video argued weddings are expensive and leftovers are inevitable.

To help minimize clean up, giving the catering staff leftover food, cake, beverages and even alcohol is a great alternative to throwing out the remaining food and drink which also doubles as a way of saying thank you to the catering staff for their hard work.

Others maintained doing something like this is essentially stealing from the bride and groom since they paid for the cake.

Maybe the phrase "Sharing is caring" isn't applicable in every situation, but in this instance many are rallying behind the saying, "Let them eat cake."

Which side of the aisle are you on?

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

In the wake of the election, Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom has risen to a new level of fame after he was tapped as the "future of the Democratic Party" in the wake of Kamala Harris's loss.

That of course meant it was only a matter of time before all the internet's young people turned him into a meme. And THAT of course meant it was also only a matter of time before he became an object of people's thirst.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
