It's A Boy!!!!!!!:)

Well its that time! I am 21 weeks and 6 days today! Last weekend we had a gender reveal party for some of our family. It was a fun party with a lot of prepping. Our theme was Camo or Glitter!! Cute I know!
My friend who is a photographer put this little invite together for us!:)
At the party we revealed the gender with the cupcakes. It took awhile to make these beautiful cupcakes. I decided to stay with the Camo look, so the cupcakes are camo and inside is a colored frosting (pink or blue). Then when the guests bite into the cupcake they will see either pink or blue and know what it is!:)
 
We made 2 boxes of white cake batter, separated it equally into 4 different bowls. One bowl we made brown, one was black, one was green, and one we left normal. Then we put those into cake decorating bags like in the picture above to put it into cupcake holders. This is how it turned out in the holders.
 
After putting all the colors into the holders we tried to make the batter as flat as possible, so the cupcakes would look like cones when they were baked. Putting them into the oven for 19 minutes they were done!:)
They turned out better than I imagined. So after we baked all 48 cupcakes. We started to put the frosting in the middle. We are having a BOY!!! :) so we dyed the frosting blue! My friend and I made the frosting from scratch so we had plenty.
This is how they looked after piping the frosting. That is when it got a little tricky. We had to be artist. I decided to put white frosting on top with pink and blue question marks to cover up this so they wouldn't know what it was until they bite into it :) My friend put the frosting on and I did the question marks.
I think I did a pretty good job making the question marks! :) Heres a side view.
and some more views...
It was a fun three hours making these beauties! But we realized that not everyone was going to be able to come to our party so for the ones who couldn't come they received a gift in the mail. Here is what they received :)
and just for you all to see my bump a little closer here is a picture of me at 21 weeks..taken a couple days before the party :)
 
It has been soo much fun preparing for this party and announcing what we are having. We are so blessed to be having a baby boy!
Love, Taylor
