A mother in Charleston, S.C. was in for a rude awakening when she received her son’s graduation cake. She had requested that her son’s cake say “Congrats Jacob Summa Cum Laude,” but the bakers weren’t feeling one of the words and censored it.
According to The Root, Cara Koscinski was trying to surprise her home-schooled son with the graduation cake. She ordered the cake from Publix and claims that when she started typing “Summa Cum Laude” into the system, the word “cum” was censored.
Cara left a comment in the ordering field and told them what the phrase meant but clearly it didn’t matter, even though she dropped $70 on the cake.
When Cara’s husband picked up the cake from Publix they were caught off guard when the cake read “Summa —- Laude.”
“The cake experience was kind of frustrating and humiliating because I had to explain to my friends and family like what that meant. And they were giggling uncontrollably. At least my friends were,” Koscinski’s son Jacob told WCIV ABCNews4.
Publix ended up apologizing to the family and offered to remake the cake, but they declined.
