So, last year I decided to undertake the biggest surprise I have ever attempted-a surprise 40th birthday for my husband. Big because I planned all of this 2000 miles away from the planned party site over a period of 9 months. Thank goodness I had the help of some very wonderful friends.
Finally, after all that planning, the surprise was revealed last week. My husband was greeted with the shouts of "surprise" from all of the wonderful people that were able to make the trip. It was an evening of fun, laughter, and even some tears.
As usual, our time together was too short. However, it has already got us planning for another reunion next year! I am so very thankful for the gift of their friendship and can't wait to see them again.
The picture below is the AWESOME cake I ordered from The Original Smith Island Cake Company in Ocean City Maryland. Amber, the cake artist, did an outstanding job and I highly recommend them if you're ever in the are and need a cake! And yes, it is a trout-my husband is a fly fishing addict ( :
Your cake is just stupendous! I'm sure your husband felt deeply loved. I also love surprising people and giving them gifts they will treasure. I know that your family and friends are blessed to have someone like you in their lives!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, thank you for your kind words Monet ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise for his birthday. That cake is really amazing, almost too good to be cut but I bet it tasted great too - and no scales ;)
ReplyDeleteVery impressive cake--in the smaller photo I was sure it was a real fish.
ReplyDeleteNice cake, I live about 20 minutes from Ocean City, MD and have only heard good things about that place.
ReplyDeleteBest,
