Fake'n The Bake'n | The People's Court

The plaintiff hired the defendants to make her wedding cake. She says the cake looked absolutely terrible and the hotel even refused to serve it because it looked like a health hazard. She’s suing for the cost of the cake and emotional distress. The defendants argue the plaintiff threatened to blow their building up.

That was pretty nice of the Sheridan Four Points to provide a detailed statement.

It wasn't about being nice, they kept themselves out of a legal dispute. If its not on the baker, its on the hotel that they cake wasn't on the table until two hours later.

And I'm sorry but that cake stand absolutely looks like a $2 wire piece of crap! What place would not bring their own portfolio to court when they're being sued for doing a poor job!?
