Weddings in the News: Couple compensated $514 for fake cake

PEMBREY, Wales, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- A Welsh couple whose wedding cake turned out to be a polystyrene fraud won $514 from the bakery in small claims court.

Aimee West, 27, said she and her new husband Tony, 26, discovered the day of their reception in Pembrey, Wales, that bakery Creative Cakes had forgotten about their $447-prepaid cake order, The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.

'They admitted their mistake and said: 'Don't worry, we'll get you a cake.' They turned up that evening and the cake was put on a table for all to see,' she said. 'We were just about to cut it when someone discovered the cake people had left four layers of sponge cake in the hotel reception. That set alarm bells ringing and when my mother checked the cake she found it was made of polystyrene.'

Polystyrene is better known by the brand name
Styrofoam.

The small claims court ordered Creative Cakes owner Karen Williams to pay the Wests $514 in compensation.

i have heard of this before. some people will do that if they can't really afford a cake. they will have it made out of styrofoam & then serve sheet cakes to their guests.

This happened at my friend's wedding. She asked for the cake to be shaped like the empire state building and the baker made it out of styrofoam. Luckily she had done smaller cakes as her table centerpieces, so the hall just served those.
