在下面的短文中去掉多余的形容词。保留任何形容词所表达的意思，而该形容词所修饰的名词本身无法表达。

Maggie and Herb were thrilled when their two twin daughters reported that they had been accepted to the von Humboldt Research Fellowship. Their daughters, Agnes and Lulu, had both graduated recently from Harvard with PhDs in pharmacy. The women had been job hunting, trying to decide whether to work in academia or in industry, and the offer of the fellowships came as quite an unexpected surprise. As an added bonus, the sponsoring agency was including subsidized housing in Germany for the women where they would be working on therapeutic treatments for Huntington’s Disease. Before Agnes and Lulu departed for Germany, their parents threw a surprise bon voyage party for them. At the end of the evening, caterers served the women’s favorite dessert: a five-layer chocolate cake with coffee-bathed chocolate gateau, Belgian chocolate filling, topped with fluffy whipped cream and raspberry icing. After the dessert course, the invited guests raised a toast to the women’s past histories as incredible scholars as Agnes and Lulu looked forward with hopeful optimism to an exciting future participating in the von Humboldt Research Fellowship program.
