Over this past Mother's Day weekend, we took the opportunity to share even more good news with everyone since family was in town.  Since the way we shared news about even being pregnant paled in comparison to how we announced Jack's impending arrival (I couldn't help it, way too scared to make another big deal for fear of disappointment again) we decided to make a big deal about whether this one was going to be a boy or girl.  

So, I had to do something unique and fun.  And while what I chose was not an original idea by any means (just YouTube it and you'll see what I mean), it's still a wonderfully fun way to share the news and involve certain family members in the reveal.  "How did you go about it?" you ask?  Not only was it fun but it was tasty too.

Enter......the gender cake.  Wha?! The Gender Cake is an ingenious way to share the news of what you're having because hey....it involves cake!  And who doesn't love cake?!  From the outside, the unsuspecting person wouldn't have a clue as to whether it's a boy or a girl, but once you cut into the cake it reveals either blue or pink insides.  Brilliant if you ask me.

So, with the help of the Grand Dames, aka the grandmothers, we surprised family (and a few lucky friends) of what type of bun was in my oven.  And let me tell you, patience is not my mother's strong suit when it came to finding out what this baby is.  They were both ready for cake before dinner was even served!

For those who have no idea......do you fancy a guess? ;)

  
Poised and ready for the slaughter.....

 After nearly pulling the piece to the ground to see what color it was, they see that it is PINK!
