Wow, no. I strongly disagree with this sentiment. If you brought something for a party, bring all of it or don't bring it at all. I have second-hand embarrassment from this post.

Also you get to have 2 slices. How would they know….

Sometimes people are hesitant to even take precut dessert like brownies if no one else has taken any yet. I like taking the first one and seeing the rest follow suit.

Long ago, I was preschool aged and my Mom made a cake from scratch with scratch frosting. She let me work with her on the decorations. It was delicious looking. We took the cake to school and then went to a school presentation that my older brother was in. When we were sitting down, I noticed Mom didn't have the cake!

She then told me she made the cake to donate it to a bake sale at the school. I was greatly disappointed, because I thought for sure that we would eat the cake. I saw a family leaving with "my" cake, and I was making stern eye contact with them.

I think of that cake whenever I see gold dragees.

My family would think I needed a snack on the way to the event, and had the audacity to cut it first lmfao

You're right. The big reveal should be whole. But once guests are seated, the dessert should be sliced and prepped.

Halfway through the night I'll cut up my dish (which hasn't been touched), put them on small plates and in 20 minutes it's gone

I can't think of anything more off-putting than a dessert being unveiled with a piece missing. On the other hand, you're there. Just cut the first slice yourself when it's time for dessert.
