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.
Posted by: Lily | Jan 08, 2011 at 02:39 PM
Congrats Rima and Lily!
First off, I love how you started this post off by calling yourself a tease ;)
Okay, that sounded weird. Sorry.
Second off...I'm not guessing because I read your earlier post so I don't want to cheat!! But I would love some of your cookies, and I do think that these are just too too CUTE!!

Boy! Some of my favorite names for boys right now - Elijah, Oscar, Olliver, Peter, Jacob
Posted by: Liz | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:45 PM
:) Congratulations! I suggest David.
Posted by: Cathy | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:45 PM
LOL I already know what you're having, thanks for filling me in yesterday! Those cookies & cupcakes are adorable! I'd have to really think about the name thing, but what comes to mind is LOGAN. I planned for a Logan (was told early I was having a boy, found out later they were wrong)...got an Aubrey instead :)
Posted by: Renee | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:46 PM
Congratulations!!! I have 3 boys too! (And twin girls!) I am not sure if you are into unusual names or traditional? I also don't remember the names of your boys..... My favorite names are: Jake (jacob), Cody or Ryan. I am not into unusual names for boys...... so I don't have any "unique" suggestions :)
Posted by: Bridee Schrier | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:47 PM
So cute! We are hosting a baby shower soon and these would be perfect!
I am the worst with names....Especially boy names. Good luck!
Posted by: Bridget | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:48 PM
It's a BOY!! My coworker and I are throwing a surprise baby shower for our boss (who is also having a boy) and these would be SO cute to have at the shower!
Posted by: Aubrey Hansen | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:49 PM

Posted by: tracie hodges | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:51 PM
Hi there. I am new to your blog and love it already. I am going to guess boy. Not sure what you're 'style' in names is, but I really like the name Holden if I ever have another boy.
Posted by: Kylee K | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:51 PM
So I may be off my rocker...but I totally thought twins! I am the mom of 4 (1 set of twins) so I am always looking for other moms of multiples, ha! And my favorite boys name is Josiah right now ;)
Posted by: Tamara Cosby | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:52 PM
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say...boy! ;-)
These were a few of our favorite baby boy names:
Wesley (we actually got to use this one!)
Owen Kyle (was our boy name for Hanna Kate)
Caleb Henry (our boy name for Gracie)
Luke Henry (this is for our future son, God-willing!)
I also like, Gage, Easton, Hudson, Jeremy, and Liam.
And, also, I would LOVE some of your cookies! ;-)
Posted by: Thehfive | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:53 PM
I'm guessing, boy.
And for a name: Milo.
Posted by: Boomer Fischer | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:53 PM
Can't wait to see what you do with "blue"! Boy names...how about Cayden, Garen,Henry or Zac?
Posted by: Carol | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:53 PM
Congrats! I love Charlie and Sam for boys.
Posted by: Candy | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:54 PM
I'm guessing boy! Boys are so much fun:) I love Biblical boy names - James, Elijah, Joseph, Mark, Eli (short from Elijah).
Congrats!
Posted by: Kristen | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:54 PM
I'm guessing a boy! (Congrats!)
Names I love: Lucas, Zachary, Xavier, Quincy, Hugh.
The cookies and cupcakes are so cute you almost can't eat 'em!
Posted by: Zoe V | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:55 PM
A boy! :) I love the name Rhett....I have three girls so didn't get to use it. I used Scarlett instead - which I didn't even correlate the two at first when I was finding names I liked.
Posted by: Sarah | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:55 PM
I'm 35 weeks!
Posted by: Lori Parker | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:55 PM
I think it's a boy! And I didn't even peek.
Names I love:
Declan, Dylan, Holden, Gideon, Jasper, Toby, Logan, and William.
I totally did not suggest Logan because it was Mary Anne's boyfriend in the babysitter's club and she was my favorite. I swear.
Posted by: Amber | Bluebonnets & Brownies | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:55 PM
umm, lets seee, i think, maybee, uuum, a BOY?? here are some of my favorite names:
Valentine (i know what you're thinking, but there is a really cool book named Lord Valentine's Castle that turned me on to this name :)
Harrison (my son :)
Griffon (technically my daughter but hey its a boys name too ;)
Aiden
Bryn
Lol, im such a hippy next it will be poppy and lily (acyually sweet names)
anyways, congrats! love love love your treats!
Posted by: Laci | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:55 PM
Too cute. I especially like the cupcakes!
Ummm, since you have the need for boy names?? Ummm,,, I guess boy! How about Nicholas Alan R.? Don't know why that name flew through my brain!
Posted by: Georgia | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:56 PM
Hmmmm, since I read your Mommy blog earlier today, I'm going to go ahead and guess that you're having a BOY! As for names, that's a tricky one. Since I'm not sure if you have a common thread among your other children's names, I'm going to just throw out the name Jack. That's out son's name, and it fits him so well. I also like William and Garrett. Some friend's sons names are Maddox, Maxton, Benjamin, and McCager. There ya go!! Good luck finding the perfect name. It's so stressful, isn't it??
Posted by: Amanda | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:57 PM
I already read your i am mommy blog this morning, so I know, but my little boy's name is William, and we call him Will. It's a nice normal name that isn't too common right now.
Posted by: Debbie | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:57 PM
You're having twin boys???? (I'm guessing the twin based on the two winners, but I could be off about that and what the clue was supposed to be, the picture, or two winners).
I'm not much help with boy names, unfortunately, though I do like Samuel.
Posted by: April | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:57 PM
Spencer is my favorite boy name!!
Posted by: Sam | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:58 PM
SUPER-CUTE cookies! I am so excited that you shared the news.
hmm...boy names...well a few months ago I was thinking of my brothers name and realized no one names their kids John, good name :) now I'm sure you wondered why you wanted me to mention it, right? LOL! I like the name Griffin too
Posted by: Diane {createdbydiane.blogspot.com} | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:59 PM
A boy? Yay!!!
I can't believe that you are already 28 weeks!!! That is so exciting.
As for boy names, I had a hard enough time coming up with my sons name!
Posted by: Lorie | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:59 PM
these cookies are adorable! and, since i know the answer i'll say Charlie for the name.
[email protected]
Posted by: themanager | Jan 07, 2011 at 04:59 PM
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.
Posted by: Courtney | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:00 PM
Love, love, love these cookie and cupcakes. Such a sweet idea.
Posted by: Paula | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:00 PM
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.
Posted by: Julia | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:00 PM
☺ 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! ☺
Posted by: Tiera | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:02 PM
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) :)
Posted by: Mary Beth North | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:02 PM
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.
Posted by: Becky Cary | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:03 PM
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!)
Posted by: brittni | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:06 PM
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!
Posted by: Bryn | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:07 PM
Congratulations! I've always loved the name Jasper.
Posted by: Meg S | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:08 PM
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.
Posted by: Corrie | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:09 PM
Boy - Jake. It rhymes with Cake. ;) haha ...
Posted by: Nicole M. | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:10 PM
Well I did not see the post but based upon your post I would guess perhaps a BOY?? My name suggestion is John Thomas. Which we fondly call, J.T. He loves having his name be initials and he is 27!!
Posted by: Gwendolyn McBee | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:10 PM
CONGRATULATIONS MAMA!!!
So, in need of Boy names huh?? I will guess boy then :O)
My 2 sons names are : Harrison Thomas, & Cooper Henry
I also love the the names: Gabriel Ryan, Samuel Carter, Ethan Charles, & Charles Ryan. Hope one of these help :O)
Posted by: colleen | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:10 PM
I'm going to definitely guess boy! I have always loved the name Logan for a boy :)
Posted by: Sarah C | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:14 PM
Awww! These are so cute! I love the names Jack, Owen, and Wes for a little boy!
These are absolutely adorable!!
Thanks!
Posted by: Haley Broder | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:14 PM
Boy! Name=Evan Michael! :)
Posted by: Lisa Edwards | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:15 PM
I have never commented before but have been enjoying your blog for about a year now. I'm dying to try some of your cookies. I have also learned a lot from you, so thanks for that.
Congrats on having a boy! Kayden, Kayson (sounds like Jason but with a K), Kolton are some of my favorite boy names.
Posted by: KirstenC | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:15 PM
Big big congratulations to you! I don't have any of my own yet but do have baby fever terribly and am thinkin' on names more often than I probably should be at 23 :) I love the names Elliott, Zachary, Lucas, and Aidan. And yes, that also means I'm guessing its a boy! Lovin' the cookies...maybe i'll be the big winner!
Posted by: Kendra | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:19 PM
Congrats! I say you're having a girl.
Posted by: Amanda W | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:24 PM
A boy! Congrats! I love the name Garrett. Also any A name with a J middle name cause AJ is cute. And I've never met a Jake I didn't love so that's a good one too.
Posted by: Amy | Jan 07, 2011 at 05:27 PM
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.
