If the "cat" fits... wear it!

That's presumably what staff at an Indiana bakery say — after they confused the word with "cap" and inked a cute kitty on a graduate's portrait cake.

Carol Gambrel, 59, was left in fits of laughter when, picking up the tasty treat, she saw a cat sitting on top of her daughter Laura's face.

It shoulda been a pancake...

Don’t get it what is it supposed to say?

[Bigg Red]

OMW! You mean the mother is not filing a lawsuit? That is so amazing in this day and age.

[DuncanWaring]

It’s not so much what it’s supposed to say; it’s NOT supposed to say “under neat that”.

[ThomasThomas]

un·der·neath /ˌəndərˈnēTH/ Preposition Situated directly below (something else): "our bedroom is right underneath theirs"; "his eyes had black bags underneath". not Under Neath That

[DuncanWaring]

I was wondering when the bunny was going to show up...

[Woodman]

Picture some one coming into the baker and saying “I Want it to say Happy Birthday Woodman” and underneath that “You’re Older Than Dirt” and you get a cake that says “Happy Birthday Woodman, under neat that, You’re Older than Dirt”

Puss in Boots.

Cat in Gown.

thanks for all the belly laughs.....

Thanks for asking, I was quite puzzled myself. The typo stumped me.

[Spirit of Liberty]

I believe it’s only supposed to have lines 1 and 3; the middle line was instructions (and mis-spelled):

Best Wishes Suzanne

(underneath that)

We Will Miss You

*sorry, even after explanations it STILL took me a while to figure it out, so I thought I would post in case someone pops in that’s as dense as me!!

[steve86]

I have gone to drawings and mock-ups for all similar things for just that reason.

[steve86]

Now post the correct explanation underneath that.

[ThomasThomas]

I did but it is underneath so you can’t see it.

[Daffynition]

Hold on to that leash. Hold on to that cat.

[nevergore]

Bttt

[Slings and Arrows]

Happy Cat-uation, Laura!

[Thanks to Gefn for the ping!]

[Slings and Arrows]

Thanks also to Twotone and a fool in paradise!

Reminds me of when our nephew was visiting years ago. It was his 14th birthday so we went to the store and found a wonderful cake someone had ordered for a girl named Shirley. They hadn’t picked it up so we bought it half price.

Another time we had a house guest (a rather weird musician who wanted everyone to call him Sick) so I made him a cat box cake. Google that.

No thanks, not hungry anymore.
