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!
IF, by any random chance, you were to have a boy… I would suggest the name Addison. (although, that could go for a boy or girl) 🙂
The peeking babies are SUPER adorable! I came to your blog from FoodGawker and I think I’ll be a frequent visitor from now on =) May I ask how you achieved the skin color for the icing?
Boy, for sure. 😉 I think boy names are the hardest. I barely came up with names for my three. So glad Alaine was a girl because we never had a boy name picked for her!
I say BOY! Some suggestions for names would be: Gunnar, Maverick, Maddox, Rogue and Ben. Congrats!
I was going to guess girl, but from the comments, I am thinking it must be a boy! Congrats!
These are amazing! I used a variation of your New Year’s cupcakes for a party we went to on NYE! Congratulations on having (I am assuming) a BOY!!! We had a hard time with boy names. My son’s name is Drew Eaton…Eaton is a family name for us.
Enjoy every minute!
Those cookies are so adorable! So I’m guessing from all your hints that you are having a boy…Oh JOY!! I love the name Randy, it’s my favorite!
First of all… Congratulations! I loved begin pregnant!
So that brings me good memories!
Loooved the cookies! You can’t seize to amaze me!
I would say you are having a BOY! Ummm….
Suggestions: Benjamin, Lucas, and my sons name: Joaquim.
Good Luck!
For some reason I always seem to say this in my Bill Cosby voice..
“It’s a beautiful bouncing baby boooy!”
Congrats on your little one! <3
I am totally guessing a boy! I would offer names but then you might use them and our doc thinks WE are having a boy!
