I’m not sure how to phrase it:

A South Carolina grocery store created a graduation cake with the —

No.

A South Carolina grocery store removed the —

No.

A South Carolina grocery store made a cake without —

No.

A South Carolina grocery store created a graduation cake with three hyphens in place of the “cum.”

That’s the best I can do.

We have a photograph, somewhere, of a sign in rural Pennsylvania: HO MADE CAKES.

Many, many years ago I was a 12 year old boy. A little of that 12 yo still resides within. That part of me is sympathetic because that 12 yo would have made bad jokes and giggled had he seen a cake with the word cum anywhere on it.

Martha, i always knew you meant honk. :)
