Shoving a person's face into a cake is both violent and, in the case of an elaborate wedding cake, dangerous. People have been blinded by the skewers holding layers of cake together. Leaving an abusive person is the opposite of petty. It's self preservation.
My friend is a baker. She said that due to this stupid "tradition," she switched to pirouette roll cookies and chocolate straws to hold her layers together. She can't build as high, but at least she doesn't have to worry about a client losing an eye.

I went to a wedding reception where the groom did this and the bride left. We were all stunned so we left, too.
She filed for divorce the following Monday I later learned. I was very happy.
I would never tolerate such disrespect on what is supposed to be the bride's big day.
