A newly married couple claim one of their wedding guests stole their cake and gave it to her policeman boyfriend to share with colleagues at work.Bride and groom Andrew and Claire Phillips, from Great Barr, Birmingham, say their memories of the day were ruined after an old school friend took her wedding cake.Mother of two Mrs Phillips said the friend took the uneaten 75-cupcake arrangement home at the end of the wedding and then got angry when the newlyweds asked for them back.The friend said her policeman boyfriend had taken most of the cakes to his station, and suggested the bride 'prioritize what's really important'.The new bride complained to West Midlands Police claiming the cakes had been stolen, but was told no crime had been committed.Childminder Mrs Phillips, 30, married Mr Phillips on October 26 at Holt Castle before their dream reception in nearby Worcester.She had been delighted to invite the old friend, who had got back in touch on Facebook after 14 years - but was horrified at her eventual appalling behaviour.At the end of the night, the friend offered to help box up the uneaten cupcakes, paid for by Mrs. Phillips’ new sister-in-law, to be handed to guests later.'We got so caught up in the excitement of the day that we forgot to hand out the cakes to guests,' said Mrs. Phillips.'We left at about midnight and the woman who took the cakes started to box them up with a bridesmaid, who told her everything should be left in the room until the next day.'She insisted that she would take them with her, and my bridesmaid assumed that she would drop them back to us the next day.'I couldn’t believe it when she would not answer our calls the next day.
