The gifts were delivered in boxes, all wrapped in ultra rainbow paper with truly voluminous ribbon bows and a heavy dusting of glitter. The only boxes safe from the glitter were the cupcake boxes. There were four boxes total: two cupcake boxes, a box for the pillow and mug, and the sunshine package. The card was tucked into the sunshine box.
The inside of the card contained a hand written birthday message. It read: Happy Birthday, Marlene! I know it's a day early, but you were going to be out of town and I already ordered cupcakes so you're getting things today. I hope you have a good mini-vacay, and a very happy birthday.

There were six cupcakes for Marlene, and they are chocolate cake made with coffee, filled with a chocolate espresso ganache, and frosted with mocha buttercream. They're each topped with a single dark chocolate covered espresso bean and mocha drizzle.
The second box of cupcakes contained six pupcakes for Winston! They are made with peanut butter, applesauce, and pumpkin, and topped with a peanut butter cream cheese frosting! They are certified pup-friendly!
Both cupcake offerings were ordered from For Goodness Bakes, and came in teal striped cake boxes with calligraphy style names on the tops of the boxes. Each box contained a small card to let her know the flavors and particulars of storage for the orders.
Thabisa attempted to deliver these in person while Marlene was at work, but was turned away by security.
