RINGGOLD, Ga. – Lily the Schnauzer set her brown eyes on her mom, Cindie Robinson, and in the nonverbal way dogs do, she said something.

Lily asked for a cupcake.

While Robinson, Lily and Deanna Bone were hanging out at Robinson’s Ringgold gift shop, UNIKTINGS!, someone showed up, unexpectedly, with them — four cupcakes.

It was Celeste Parker, a friend and former neighbor of Robinson’s who works full-time as a nurse at Parkridge East Hospital and bakes on the side.

Parker was moseying by to leave a batch of baked goods for someone and thought she’d spring a spontaneous gift on Robinson, her friend and former neighbor.
