I was thrilled when Renee's sister, Wendy, asked me to help surprise her sister for her 50th birthday. It was definitely a day full of surprises...
Renee thought she was going to an amazing estate sale with her neighbor Deb (they knew if they didn't have a really good cover she wasn't getting out of bed)! Once she got to Deb's -----Surprise, four friend's and a cardboard cutout were waiting to take her on a road trip to Morris!! Wendy didn't want Renee to know that she would be joining them once they got to Morris, so she had a lifesize cardboard cutout of herself made to really throw Renee off!
Once the group made it all the way from St. Louis Renee was soooo surprised to see Wendy...
I love this picture - can you tell how shocked Renee is!?!
Here's everyone (including the cardboard Wendy)!
They started the day off at my shop with cake pops and gelato champagne!
for a surprise lunch!
As a thank you, for traveling all the way to Morris to visit, I made each guest a little candle.
How adorable is this picture of Renee as a child!!!
I filled this vintage teapot with spray roses, seeded eucalyptus and dried moss!
After an incredible lunch (as always) we had
the best cake ever!!!
Chocolate layer cake with Marshmallow fondant ruffles!
Letty Mae's did an incredible job!
The surprises kept coming...
I was so happy to be a part of Renee's special day and to have met such sweet friends!
I am looking forward to their next road trip!!
Happy 50th Birthday Renee!
