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!

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.

  1. I love these cookies! I can’t guess because I looked at the other blog and saw it was a boy. Congratulations! If I ever have a son I want to name him Josiah because in 2 Kings Josiah did alot to clean up bad idolotrous things that went on during his reign.

  2. I say you’re having a girl, HOWever, since you insist on telling us it’s a boy; I’m happy for you either way, I suggest the name Paul. I hope you’re doing well!!

  3. Hmmm…I bet it’s a BOY! I have always loved the name Liam. Mostly cause it’s not a very popular name, which makes it so much cuter. And it also has a nice ring to it, i think. Good luck with everything! And congrats!!!

  4. So, I’m going to guess you’re having a boy. 🙂 I have two wonderful boys and their names are Jake andd Josh. One of my friends has three boys and they are Nathan, Nicholas and Noah. Congratulations!!!

  5. I’m guessing it’s twin boys from some of the clues! Congrats either way, a new baby (or two) is such a great blessing! Boy names I love are Marshall (my son’s name), Gunnar, Roman and Colter, and if it’s a girl Brianna (my daughter’s name), Hayden Claire and Gracen. I hope I get to try some of your fabulous creations!!
