I paid £300 for the perfect wedding cake but still cry looking at the snaps – what the woman delivered was a monstrosity
In a video, she admitted she was left 'shattered' after the three-tier dessert was delivered in separate parts and looked nothing like she had imagined.

The wedding cake had simply been decorated with white icing and wasn't assembled ready for the big day.
TikTok user @brunarobertson shared: "Nothing can hurt me... I will never forget how my cake lady nearly ruined the most important day of my life, this cake cost me £300.... She delivered it late & in 3 pieces and just told us to 'put it together...'
"This is how she delivered... I still cry looking at these pictures because I had an image of our cake & us cutting it, to me it was the most important part of the ceremony and she absolutely ruined it.
'When I got to the venue and I saw the cake, my heart literally sunk and I wanted to cry, it was too late to do anything about it as the guests were walking in - she really ruined the cake part.
'Every time I walked past that cake I felt rage and sadness, like that cake put me in a foul mood on my wedding day!'
The bride said her aunt had tried her best to 'fix' the cake - which reminded her of the Leaning Tower of Pisa - for the ceremony, and admitted: 'If it wasn't for her I would have been so devastated.'
She continued: 'The cake is not at all what I imagined, it was falling apart!
'This woman is someone I will always carry in my heart, £300 down the drain & I was honestly shattered!"
Thankfully the aunt was able to assemble the cake and add some flowers to make it look pretty for the cake cutting.
However, the bride said the experience wasn't at all what she had wanted on her special day.
I'm horrified by what an Etsy seller did to my beautiful wedding bouquet - people agree it looks 'awful & tacky'
Many people were quick to comment on the video, with many offering support.
One said: 'This is absolutely ridiculous, as a professional baker who sets up and delivers tiered cakes I cannot believe this!
'I hope you received a full refund! Shocking!'

A second added: 'This was your wedding something you've dreamed of, you paid money and didn't receive what you asked for, people take things out of context, I'm sorry you had to deal with that.'
The bride replied: 'I get that there are worse problems with the world, I fully understand that it was a privilege to have a wedding but I'm also entitled to feel upset about it.'
However, one said: 'If this was 'the most important part of your wedding day' you're missing the point of getting married.'

Sainsbury's shoppers rush to pick up new ‘funky' version of beloved chocolate bar – fans say it's ‘absolutely brilliant'
SWEET-TOOTHED Brits are rushing to Sainsbury's to pick up a new version of a classic chocolate bar. The "funky" version recently hit shelves, enticing shoppers with an exciting new twist. 1 A rare version of a KitKat has sent chocolate fans into a frenzy as they rush to try the fun new flavour. The KitKat Chunky Funky is the latest limited edition treat from Nestle. And shoppers can pick up this sweet treat from Sainsbury's for just £1 a bar. The highly-anticipated new snack was shared on the Facebook group New Foods UK. One shopper shared a picture of a four-pack containing snack size versions of the chocolate treat. New twist It adds a fun twist on the original KitKat Chunky, substituting in a cocoa wafer, which is coated in marbled milk and white chocolate. Shoppers shared their excitement over the new release in the comments section. "I already had them, absolutely brilliant," wrote one impressed customer. "Oh I need to get to the shop," said another eager Facebook user. "To quote Andy Pipkin: 'I want that one'," joked a third commenter. We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon History of KitKats The classic KitKat Chunky first hit UK shelves in 1999, following the original two and four finger bars. It has solidified itself as a fan favourite, but is also known for its innovative limited edition flavours. Such as the Peanut Butter, White Chocolate, and Orange editions of the bar. Other limited edition versions inlcude the Hazelnut Cream, Coconut, and Brownie. Meanwhile, the original KitKat bar was first established in 1935, in York. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger. More on new flavours And Nestle previously released two new KitKat flavours in recent weeks. Terry's Chocolate Orange has launched a new flavour but it is only available from one UK supermarket. Plus, two new Cadbury's chocolate bars that have hit UK shelves for first time. And Quality Street has after two years. A rare new Cadbury's chocolate bar has been described as combining two sweet treat favourites.

King Charles shows a bit of leg as he dons traditional Scottish attire to attend Highland Games
King Charles III proved he was chic at the knees as he donned traditional Scottish attire to attend the Mey Highland Games. The monarch, 76, was spotted solo without Queen Camilla on Saturday as he took in the colourful festivities held in Caithness each year. His Majesty looked dapper in his red, blue and green tartan kilt, which was complemented by a beige waistcoat and jacket, leather sporran and red hose. At one point the King was seen enjoying a cheeky dram of whisky before meeting participants in the day's events, which include tug o'war, caber tossing, massed pipe bands, Highland dancing, track events and novelty races. Charles was all smiles as he sat down in a marquee, with his cousin, Lady Sarah Chatto, sat behind him. The first Mey Games was held in the nearby village of Mey in 1970 to celebrate the late Queen Mother 's 70th birthday. As guest of honour on the day, she declared the event a success and encouraged its organisers to make it an annual event. In 2002 His Majesty succeeded his grandmother as Chieftain of the games and attends each year during his summer break in Caithness. Charles has an enduring love of Scotland, having spent many summers at Balmoral with the royal family, and often wears kilts when visiting the nation for engagements. The distinctive pattern on the King's kilt is known as the Balmoral Tartan, which was originally created in the 1850s by Prince Albert for Queen Victoria, symbolizing her deep connection to Scotland. It remains one of the most exclusive tartans, reserved only for use by the reigning monarch, as well as the Sovereign's Piper - the only non-royal permitted to don this tartan. Other members of the Royal Family require the sovereign's permission to wear the tartan, with the latest pattern designed 'in recognition of His Majesty's strong support in preserving the culture and traditions of Highland Dress and Scottish Tartans'. The Scottish Register of Tartans website notes that the cloth was first woven in 100% Scottish wool by Lochcarron of Scotland in Selkirk. It features 'central stripe motif (one broad and two narrow), a feature of Royal tartans previously worn by His Majesty including the Duke of Rothesay, Duke of Rothesay Hunting & Lord of the Isles Hunting tartans'. While the kilt-wearing monarch arrived alone this year, Queen Camilla has been an enthusiastic visitor in previous years. Her Majesty first attended the Games with Charles in 2002, three years before she married the then Prince of Wales. She then joined Charles at the annual jamboree on several occasions after their wedding. At each, they were seen guffawing with laughter as they took in the high-spirited atmosphere.

A lot of young girls have a dream wedding and know exactly what they want. 'And that's going to be her special day at the end of the day. So it's got to be perfect for her.
