A disagreement over the correct use of the word “fondue” led a Dorchester woman to threaten to kill a cake store clerk on Friday, according to Brookline police.

Rakedda Ladawn Bogues, 21, of 2 Warner St., Dorchester, was arrested on Feb. 18 at 7:35 p.m. on Beacon Street for the charges of being a disorderly person, assault, threats to commit a crime, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and malicious destruction of property, police said.

Bogues and a friend visited the Party Favors Brookline store at 1356 Beacon St., where the friend spoke to a store clerk about cake ingredients, according to a police report.

During the discussion, Bogues apparently took offense when the clerk corrected her friend’s usage of the word “fondue” when referring to “fondant icing.”

“Fondue, fondant, who gives a f---. You’ve had an attitude the whole time,” Bogues told the employee, according to the police report.

When an employee told Bogues “to relax,” Bogues put her hands on the counter and leaned forward toward the worker, and yelled, “I will kill you bitch,” according to the report.

Bogue then swung her bag and knocked a plastic display case to the ground and scattered its contents, police reported.

There were other employees and customers in the store at the time, and the clerk told a coworker to call police. Bogue and her friend turned to leave, and Bogue reportedly knocked a second display over with her outstretched arm, police said.

Police found Bogues and her friend walking away from the store along Beacon Street toward Harvard Street. Bogues told police that she accidentally hit some store items and left, according to the report.
