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!
Oh how adorable! Did you use a butter cookie and vanilla cupcake? Neatest idea I’ve seen in years!
I am the mother of two boys…(got to love that!!) So my suggestions are in honor of them, Matthew and Aaron.
My sincere congratuations!

Here a few of my favorite names for a boy. ‘Cause I just know it’s a boy!
Samuel
Oliver

I am guessing boy!!! Let’s see………..Luke, Jude, Owen
Congratulations! I’m going to guess boy as well…because I’m a bandwagon jumper. Boy’s names are oh so hard I think! I have a huge list of potential girls’ names, but the boy list is much shorter.
Personally, I’m a fan of Asher and Payton. Ashton too. I won’t list my favorite boy name though…because its mine. Alll mine 😉 And I’m selfish and will not share…haha!
Those are so cute! You are so creative – it makes me sick with jealously! Haha!
Name suggestions for your little dude – Connor, Dakota, Dallas, Jaxon, Cameron, Gavin.
Congratulations!! Yay a lil man!! I’ve got 2 (Coen and Camden) and I love my friend’s son’s name (Greyson…they call him Grey). I’m a sucker for unique names 🙂
Oh…a boy…congratulations honey! You make the most beautiful creations (edible and otherwise!!!). Best, best of luck to you and your beautiful family. I love the name Braden.
Congratulations! Boys are wonderful! I love the name Reed.
I think you’re having a boy! My favorite baby names are: Kent, Ethan, Alexander, Wesley, Emery, Preston, Blake, Carson, Trace, Avery, Anderson, Everett, and Jackson.
Girl!
Boy names I like: Kai, Caleb, Tyler.
