Couple's fake wedding cake shock

A newlywed couple have been awarded £310 compensation after finding their wedding cake was made of polystyrene.

Bride Aimee West bought the three-tier sponge cake decorated with white and dark chocolate icing and flowers for their reception near Llanelli.

But just before she and new husband Tony cut through a layer of chocolate white polystyrene was found underneath.



Creative Cakes, which said there had been a mix-up, was told to compensate the couple by a small claims court.

Mrs West, 27, said: "It was a terrible shock - I felt so embarrassed in front of all our family and friends.

"It was a lovely occasion and the ceremony was going to be the icing on the cake - only there was no cake."
