The cake symbolizes holding on to the past. Miss Havisham has refused to let go of her past and that is why she has kept her wedding dress and wedding cake. Although the cake is rotten, she refuses to throw it away. The cake is not longer edible, therefore, it is a symbol that lets the reader know how holding on to the past can rotten one's life.
