Surprise!

I work at a small performing arts non-profit and we love parties and food. So any excuse to celebrate a staff member with a mid-afternoon sugar rush is a welcome break from working. Usually this comes in the form of group birthday celebrations, but occasionally someone has a big anniversary with the company, is having a baby or getting married. So in honor of the whole "Karen & Ben's Wedding Spectacular" my fabulous cohort, office mate and work bestie planned a surprise shower for me. I was so honored, flattered and truly surprised! Tyler baked cupcakes, whipped up homemade frosting and put together a beautiful spread that was nothing short of a sugar rush! He knows my love for cupcake sandwiches (frost cupcake, pull off the bottom and smoosh it on top of the frosting, thus creating a sandwich and guaranteeing frosting in every bite), so it was an appropriate treat!

Here are a few photos from the party!

My face when I walked into the conference room and figured out there was not a telemarketing emergency. (I was so easily tricked!)

Proudly showing off the awesome food processor my coworkers pitched in to get us! They are so generous. I can't wait to process all that food!

Tyler and I.

Me, Tyler and Julie enjoying the leftover frosting the next day. We didn't cupcakes, just our fingers! Don't worry, we actually get work done most of the time.
