White Christianity is in big trouble. And it’s its own biggest threat.

I think the difference is normally you are making a promise in front of god and family that you will uphold certain values and the ring is representative of that. The cake is simply desert that costs way too much money and often tastes pretty average. If we pretend everything from a wedding is some sort of commitment token then my basement would be even more crammed full of crap my wife won't get rid of.

The cake is a continuation of the celebration of the union. It's not simply a "pastry" to many. If it's simply a pastry then why not just serve cupcakes?
