Wedding Plan Collapses

WITH MY FLOP GINGERBREAD

BRIDE-to-be Louise Williams has changed churches for her wedding next year after her dream venue proved a bad omen on the TV show.

Last night viewers saw her create a place of worship out of gingerbread.

She told the TV judges that she had decided to base her showstopper on a favourite old church she knows in Wales. But the biscuit cake – which also included a gingerbread bride and groom and five gravestones – collapsed and she got the boot from the show.

Host Mel Giedroyc thought it signalled bad luck and told her: “It doesn’t bode well. Maybe don’t get married in that church.” And judge Paul Hollywood added: “I feel so sorry for you and your husband.” Following her exit from the BBC hit show, Louise insisted the wedding was still on.

But she said: “I based the cake on a beautiful church I know in Wales but that was my imaginary wedding but I won’t be getting married there.

“I just want a simple low-key wedding, a more casual event that will suit my personality better. I won’t be making a gingerbread cake either.

“It was a complete and utter disaster.”

Hairdresser Louise from Cardiff – who also suffered disasters when she made sheep-shaped biscuits – added: “My real passion is bread and I am sorry that Paul didn’t get to taste my speciality, focaccias.”
