Laura Gambrel's mom, Carol Gambrel, went to the local bakery to get her daughter a graduation cake with a picture of her face, a scroll and the school's colors - red and white. She thought it would be a nice touch to add a graduation cap on top of Gambrel's head...
"I just graduated college..." Laura Gambrel said. "...So my mom thought it would be funny to get a face cake. She got it and she asked them to draw a little cap on. But when she went to pick it up later, she saw that there was a cat on it, and started laughing hysterically and said, 'No, that's not what I meant at all.'"
"...It was one of those young kids behind the counter and he seemed a little distracted... We went through the school colors and everything, and I said, 'Oh, could you draw a cap on her head?' And he gives me this look."
She didn't think too much about it at the time, but when she returned to pick up the cake the entire bake shop was laughing.
