The Thomas Family: Baby Sadler Surprise!!

For those who don't know, Kelly and Robert are expecting baby #3 in December!! They have been having quite a debate as to whether or not they should find out the sex of the baby, or just wait and be surprised, ever since they found out they were pregnant four months ago! (Personally, Tyson and I were totally pulling for the surprise since it was so fun with Parker!) They couldn't come to the same decision so as a compromise, they decided it would be fun to find out what they were having, but at the same time as the rest of their family and friends so everyone could be surprised together. We heard of a really fun way to do this by having the sex of the baby written in an envelope and then having someone make a cake that was dyed either pink or blue so that when you cut into the cake, you see right away if it's a boy or girl! The only problem was....who would make the cake?? Enter Aunt Karis. Instead of pay someone 50 dollars to make it, Kelly and I decided that I could make just as delicious of a cake (even though it might not be as pretty!) for way cheaper. So I actually had the HUGE privilege of finding out first!!! After trying out several cake AND icing recipes, I finally found the perfect ones for them and I must say....they were pretty stinking GOOD! Tyson and I though, do not want to eat ANYMORE cake for quite sometime! (He had to help me taste test!!) The party for the big reveal was last weekend and everyone came wearing pink or blue based on what they thought the baby was....and I wore a neutral brown since I obviously already knew! What a super fun and memorable day!!!

Parker was rooting for a boy cousin so he wore blue!

After days of taste testing and trying to decorate....the finish products!

Such a blessed, such a HAPPY family!

All of the Sadler men were obviously pulling for another boy all decked out in their blue!

I must admit, I am SO proud with how the cakes turned out....they looked ALMOST as GOOD as they tasted!!

Little did Robert know that Kelly actually had me make one cake that was a "decoy" cake of both pink AND blue to throw him off! This was the decoy...

This was the real one!

Robert and Kelly about to cut into the FAKE cake! :) I love how he's in blue, and she's in pink!

You can barely see because it's so dark, but the fake cake had blue on top....look at Robert's smile when he thought he was having a boy!!!

Very confused and not so happy when he saw the pink and Kelly told him it was a trick and they really weren't going to find out today! It was a really mean trick, Kelly!!
