Gender Reveal Cupcakes


These cupcakes were for a gender-reveal party! At the party, the mom-to-be made two displays....one in pink for a girl, and one in blue for a boy. The guests guessed what they thought the gender to be and picked up the matching cupcake. Everyone bit into their cupcake at the same time, and the filling color revealed who guessed correctly! It was a boy!
