People cut cake so that they can distribute the cake pcs to the guests and family members present there......This ritual must have originated in the cake eating communities in the west like the USA Or UK

Wow, lots of big celebrities here today, compu-smart. I had to smile when I saw Rudolph Valentino -- when my grandmother happened by one day at a time three girls appeared to be fawing over me, she nicknamed me "The Sheik." Who could ever forget Orson Welles and "War of the Worlds?" George Clooney's talent runs in the family (he's the nephew of Rosemary Clooney.) Stewart Granger was an excellent actor, often in swashbuckling roles. Happy Birthday also to Admiral Peary, Sigmund Freud, Willie Mays and Tony Blair.
