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’m guessing it’s a boy, judging by the blue. May I suggest the names of my boys: Ethan or Noah. Congratulations either way.

  2. I’m new to your blog – I found you via Tasty Kitchen. Your present petit fours are adorable!
    I’m guessing you’re having a boy (or two?!)- congratulations!
    Your cookies look delicious. I’d love to have some of them.

  3. ☺ Super Sweet Post! I think you are having a Girl! I’m a Mommy of 6 (Twin Boys & 4 Girls….11-to-5 years old). I have only guessed a couple of times, but I have always been right! But having both boys and girls I know they are all blessings full of love! What lucky children you have…yummies for their tummies!! Take Care! ☺

  4. YAY CONGRATS. A BOY!!!
    My choice of name would be if I have another Boy
    Carter Robert
    🙂 Sounds kinda business like and successful (just my opinion tho) 🙂

  5. Congratulations! I was blessed with one beautiful daughter (Lyndsey)21 years ago. Never had the opportunity to have another, but if I were to have the opportunity to name a wonderful little boy it would be Liam. I wish you the best of luck! PS: I love the cookies.

  6. I think those must be the cutest cookies/cupcakes ever. Seriously! Personally, I love the name Emmanuel. Our family is big on the meaning of names, so “God with us” is a special name. (Unfortunately, my hubby shot it down every time we had a baby… and that was 3 times!)

  7. Congratulations! Our friend just named their little guy Oliver and he goes by Ollie, so cute! The cookies are ADORABLE! This will definitely go on my list of items for a baby shower!

  8. Awww, those cupcakes and cookies are so very cute! It’s hard to pick names, especially for little boys…
    If I were to have another boy, I’d name him Clark.
