Have a large cake

Hello everyone. I have a question.

What does the verb "have" mean in the first line of the passage below? Does it mean "to eat (a large cake)"? Or, does it mean "to serve/give/present/place (a large cake)"?

At wedding ceremonies in many countries it is common to have a large cake. This custom is actually quite old. Back in medieval times, each guest at a wedding would bring a small cake. All of the cakes would be placed on top of each other, which was thought to bring good luck. Later, instead of these small individual cakes, a large, single cake appeared. It looked like the wedding cakes that we see today. A typical wedding cake has the largest layer at the bottom and smaller ones on top. The shape is based on that of a medieval church in England.
Another tradition is for the wedding couple to cut the cake together, often using a long knife or even a sword. Usually the bride and groom will eat the cake first, feeding each other a bite of it. ...
