soo we had our ultrasound on dec 27 (late christmas present!) and found out the sex of our baby!!
we kept it a secret from everyone for 4 days so we could have a party and tell them all at once!
i cheated and baked boxed cupcakes but i did make homemade icing! i colored a little bit of it to fill the center with so when everyone bit into them they knew if it was a boy or girl!
i found the recipe for the icing on on Wilton's website and it was super easy and soo delicious
- 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine softened
- 4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (approximately 1 lb.)
- 2 tablespoons milk
In large bowl, cream shortening and butter with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep bowl covered with a damp cloth until ready to use.
For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.
For thin (spreading) consistency icing, add 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, water or milk.
put the icing on with an icing bag add both colors of sprinkles and nobody will know until it's reveal time...
