    Charli XCX's leftover wedding cake was boxed up for a fan

    The 32-year-old musician, born Charlotte Aitchison, married her long-term partner George Daniel, 34, over the weekend in an intimate ceremony held at Hackney Town Hall in east London, with the couple tying the knot in front of their parents and a small circle of close friends


    Following the ceremony, Charli and George held a wedding dinner at the Italian restaurant Dalla, joined by around 20 guests, before continuing celebrations at a local bar.

    During the reception, a cake by Violet Cakes - the London bakery founded by Claire Ptak - was served, which featured white icing and was topped with a fig.

    A fan called Ruby said her friend, who worked as a waiter at Dalla on the night of the wedding, contacted her the following day to offer her a slice.

    She said in a video posted on her TikTok: "He was like, 'Oh, do you want to swing by and get a slice?' He boxed up a slice for me.

    "Then I think it was the owner of the restaurant that was like, 'Do you just want it? It's going to go in the bin.'"

    Ruby added: "I swear I'm not a stalker," while claiming she hadn't expected to receive more than a small portion, let alone the remaining wedding cake.

    After tasting it, she described the dessert as "lovely".

    Ruby also said she considered sharing the cake with other fans rather than selling it.

    "My friends told me I could make some money and sell the cake to fans," she said - adding: "But that felt wrong."

    She instead saved some extra slices for her friends, all of whom are fans of Charli.

    Online commenters expressed a mix of awe and confusion over her clip.

    One wrote: "Imagine just sitting in your house eating Mr and Mrs XCX's wedding cake on a random day." Another said: "This is so weird but so iconic at the same time."

    Some questioned whether Ruby should have accepted the cake at all.

    "What if she wants it back?" asked one user.

    "Is this considered theft?" wrote another, with a third commenting: "This doesn't sit right with me."

    Others defended Ruby and the restaurant's actions.

    One person said: "Guys, as someone who also works at a restaurant, it is very common that people don't want to take the rest of their wedding cake home with them and then everyone in the kitchen gets to chow down on it. It's really not weird."

    Another added: "I used to spend my summers working as a cater waiter - have eaten many strangers' wedding cakes in my time."
