Long gone are the days when everyone waits in hospital waiting room for the big news, but we thought it would be fun to have our own DIY Baby Gender Reveal Party!

My dear friend got to work baking cupcakes for the party that evening. Based on the contents of the envelope, the cupcake batter was to be pink or blue, and we would find out the baby’s gender, right along with our guests! In the days leading …
