I don't think they're allowed to eat the cake anymore. They have to throw it all away at the end of the day instead.

Probably depends on the store, but I think most of them usually give the unsold baked goods to the employees every day, or whatever day they're due to be marked out. My buddy has been at Starbucks for years, and he always has treats after a closing shift.

I worked at Starbucks about a decade ago and it was ~a special treat~ when we were allowed to take a very small portion of the marked off goods but we had to make sure to throw most of it out least an internal audit show we were (mind you) not selling enough versus the actual problem of wasting untold amounts of food. Fucking disgusting operation.
