this is a really unique post. not that all the posts on here are unique in their own way, but you’ll see why this one in particular, is very unique!
i get an email from amanda on a friday afternoon. you know, it’s the typical answering-emails-and-reading-wedding-blogs-afternoon. i’m hooked on the computer doing some baking research as well. nothing major. but, then. there was amanda’s email with her a.m.a.z.i.n.g. request! so much that my afternoon went from typical to extraordinaire to fabulous.
when i call amanda back to talk about the details, i tell her that i think i’m more excited for her than herself {which is impossible but just to give her an idea how much it meant to me}.
are you ready to know more about this? :)
well, her request was to bake for her and matt {her husband} for a baby gender revealing party. yes, you read right. a baby gender revealing party they were throwing for her family and friends. how special and unique is that?!
we talked about flavors and how she wanted the cupcakes decorated. the party was “bee themed” … what’s it going to be, a girl or a boy?
the plan was for all the guests bite the cupcakes at the same time and find out if it was going to be a girl or a boy by the pink or blue filling.
a few days later, amanda and matt dropped off their ultrasound results. again. my heart was full with happiness and i go ahead and tell amanda that i don’t know if i’m going to be able to keep the secret. you have to realize i’m the only one who knows about this. the only one in the entire state of north dakota. no pressure or anything, right? haha.
well, let me tell you the pressure didn’t end there. i thought i could open the envelope with the ultrasound results. but i couldn’t. i just couldn’t open it because of the excitement. after several deep breaths, finally had the courage to open it. wow, what a relief! and now i wanted to tell the world. haha!
when i delivered the cupcakes, the guests were joking and asking if i filled the cupcakes with orange or green frosting to throw them off. haha.
the party was decorated beautifully! i loved every part of it. matt and amanda, wish you all the best with the new baby :)
remember how amazing was this idea? well. so much that amanda and matt were featured on the forum {fargo newspaper}. click here to read the story and my interview by the talented sherri richards. a big thank you goes to sherri :)
