Related: About this forumMom orders cake with graduation *cap* - gets *cat* instead
Of all the cat memes on the Internet, this one just might take the cake.
The hilarity began quite innocently, when Carol Gambrel placed an order for a cake for her daughter, Laura, who recently graduated from Indiana University.
The Zionsville mother provided a photo of Laura and requested a graduation-themed design, including a cap on top of Lauras head.
Well, the bakery obviously misunderstood, as you can see from the above photo.

Decorator failed to make the use/mention distinction.

Really, people, do not let your three year olds decorate cakes.

when that order came in.
Another reason neat handwriting is very very important. Or is it enunciation that was the problem?
