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!
I’m guessing boy. I love the name Evan (cause it’s my son’s) and I love the name Cedar. I think it’s so earthy, lol.
Congratulations! Very cute idea with the cookies! We have a theme going in our family of first name Old Testament, and middle name New Testament. I think our most unique one is Josiah. And we call him Jo-Jo for short, which fits him so perfectly. But I just love the name Josiah. Our run-down is Samuel Paul, Caleb Luke, Noah James, Isaac John, and Josiah Thomas. As a side note, I love your blog and icing ideas. I’ve copied several and they’ve turned out so fun!
Boy!!! Name I love right now is Wyatt!
Your cookies always make me feel like raiding the fridge for sweets, I would absolutely love a chance to actually eat some of them!
1. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE CONGRATS!!!!! I am so excited for you!!!
2. I have my sweet boy Kale and I always wanted an Ethan or Ian.
Not that you will need it but I wanted to name my youngest daughter Lily Kate.
Congrats!! I am guessing a boy and I vote for the name Logan or Nolan!! :o) I love those two names for a boy!
Oh my gosh soooo cute! I’m going to guess boy only because there is little hair (I didn’t cheat and go look I promise). Baby names…hmm..How about Mason. It’s a good strong name and means masonry or rocks.
Any of the names in the bible are good solid names too. My oldest is Ayden – it means fiery one and fits his fiery personality. I heard a few cute ones in their class-Teigen, Jeter, Zane. Kind of fun little names.
OK – since I totally cheated and read your other post earlier today and know it is a boy I will just suggest some great boy names that I love! 🙂 Isaac, Gabriel and Elijah are on the top of my list! 😉
Thanks for the chance to finally try some of your goodies!!
Boy?!?!? And we just had our 2nd little boy in September and named him Asher. Big brother is Bryson – they are definitely my favorite names!
That’s wonderful that you are having a boy!! Andrew, Charles or Alexander are good names!
I’m guessing a boy by you asking for boy names and posting a blue background in the last picture. Those cookies look extra delicious!!!
