The cake the bride wanted, on the right. And the cake she actually received, on the left.

FAIRFAX, VA. — “We did have a joke that night which was our cake.”

It was supposed to be an elegant, colorful cake for a peacock-themed engagement party.

“Guests called it a dragon, a dinosaur, the Loch Ness Monster,” the bride told ABC7’s I-Team.

“They were like, you actually paid for that?” she said.

Roshni Dhillon, the bride-to-be, said she tried hard to laugh off the $135 dessert, saying she doesn’t think she was a “bridezilla.”

But then, her photo booth, which was prepaid for, never showed up.

“The photo booth was really upsetting,” Dhillon said. “Those are moments stolen from my event.”

The photo booth, which was less than $200 on Living Social, was a good deal.

But had Dhillon seen the scathing Yelp reviews about Kristin Hall’s Photo Bomb, she might’ve passed,

Hall told 7 On Your Side that she blames her contractor for skipping the event and has closed her business for future reservations.

Dhillon also received a refund through PayPal for the noticeably absent photo booth.

But, as far as the cake?

ABC7 Consumer Reporter Kimberly Suiters went to speak with the company that created the cake, asking a baker what she thought of the product.

“I’m not that pleased with it. Probably would’ve looked nice with a peacock on the side,” Camille, the Sweet Cakes Bakery owner, said.

The Sweet Cakes Bakery owner says had anyone complained to her, she would’ve returned the money anything to avoid getting trashed on Facebook.

Camille says she doesn’t believe their reaction [to the cake] was fair.

“They never contacted me,” she told us.

Dhillon did get money back for the cake. But it wasn’t from the cake company, it was from her bank.

“Are you surprised your bank gave you money back for an ‘ugly cake’?” Suiters asked.

Responding first with a laugh, Dhillon said yes.

“It just shows [the] difference between customer service.”
