A bride has been left fuming after her dream wedding cake turned into a nightmare, with the £400 creation looking nothing like the elegant design she had envisioned.
The disappointed newlywed took to social media to share photos of the botched cake, which she described as 'ugly' and 'completely different' from what she had ordered.
'It's Not What I Paid For!'
The bride claims she provided the baker with clear inspiration photos and specifications for a sophisticated, tiered cake with delicate floral decorations. However, what arrived on her big day was a lopsided, poorly decorated mess that left guests shocked.
'I was absolutely devastated when I saw it,' the bride wrote. 'The colours were wrong, the piping was sloppy, and the flowers looked like they were done by a child.'
Baker's Response Sparks Outrage
When confronted about the subpar creation, the baker allegedly told the bride she was being 'too picky' and that the cake 'wasn't that bad'. This response only added fuel to the fire, with the bride calling the attitude 'unprofessional'.
Other social media users have since flooded the post with comments, many sharing their own wedding cake horror stories and warning others to carefully vet their bakers.
