I was trying to be a tease.
The whole point of these cookies is to tease.
I wanted to make you guess what the sex of the baby is… but then I was so impatient and just could not keep a secret that I posted it on my mommy blog.
So please, dont go over there and find out the answer. It would ruin all the fun!
But not really.
In honor of our soon to be addition (I am 28 weeks now!) I wanted to give YOU a new addition.
No, not my baby.
Yes, some of my cookies!
You are so smart.
More on that in a sec.
I made some cupcakes too!
I love those little fingers gripping the edge of our little cupcake.
Reminds me of some cute sneaky kids I know. Certainly not my own! *cough*
These cookies/cupcakes could not have been easier to make! My only MUST DO tip is: Use a REALLY thick icing consistency on the little fingers.
Otherwise they will run together and just be blob hands. And who wants a baby with blob hands?
Here is how to enter to win ONE DOZEN decorated sugar cookies!
Leave a comment on this post answering the question:
What do you think I am having, a boy or girl? And if by chance, you were to guess boy for some random reason, can you please also suggest some names? Thank you.
Of course, you do not need to be right to win.
All you need is a valid email. Also, I can only ship cookies to a US address. Sorry!
As if I havent already given enough hints as it is, here is one more. 🙂
I will select two winners!
Good luck!
*****UPDATED WITH WINNERS*****
Quite possible the BEST and most complete list of boy baby names I have EVER come across! You guys are awesome!! I think one or two of you even guessed the name that I have been pondering!
Anywho… here are the winners!
Boy! Congratulations 🙂 If you’re feeling adventurous, I suggest Mohan. It means “charming” in Hindi.

I’m guessing a boy :), not that you gave it away or anything :D. What about Ethan or Daniel? Or Mark? Sam? Ok, I’m not so good at picking names haha.

Congrats Rima and Lily!
Has to be a boy by the one little curl on the cookie plus the blue. 🙂 Congratulations! Both the cookies and the cupcakes are totally adorable. I have no idea how you have the patience to do the decor much less all the adorable little fingers. Precious!
Boy names have always been difficult for me but I suggest:
Alexander – my grandson
Grant
Morgan
Forrest
Gage
Jason
Jared
Wyatt
Matthew
O’Neal
David
Good luck in making a choice!
I guess boy.
And it would be so cool if I could win… as I am 11 weeks pregnant today 🙂
i love those little cupcakes! my son is nikolai, if i had another i was thinking vladimir, michail or ilya. (my daughter is natasha, my brother is alexandr, <3 russian names)
YAY!!! A BOY!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 I just had my sweet baby boy just over 7 months ago. What a joy and blessing from God he is. Name suggestions **IF** your baby is a boy: Graham (may or may not be my boy’s name ;0))/Graeme, Emmett, Everett
Boy! Congratulations 🙂 If you’re feeling adventurous, I suggest Mohan. It means “charming” in Hindi.
What adorable cookies and what a great idea for a “tease”.
I’m going to guess boy because everyone that I know who’s pregnant seems to be having a boy. For names, I like Justin, Spencer, and Jacob.
Oh, and Congratulations!
what a lovely post & those cookies are the CUTEST!
congratulations….
logan, parker, nolan, jack, max, jake….
a boy! Congratulations!
A sweet boy! Congratulations!
These are beautiful! I love the cupcakes! I’m guessing that it’s a boy. And one of my favorite names is Caden. It has a lovely ring to it. Gabe is another one of my favorites. Congrats on the baby!
