to keep the baby's gender a mystery until everyone takes a bite, fill cupcakes with gender specific frosting before you decorate them: prepare an extra batch of vanilla frosting and tinted blue for boys or pink for girls with food coloring gel. Put it in a zip top plastic freezer bag dip about 1/4 inch from one corner. Insert the end of the wooden spoon or dowel into the center of each cooled cupcake to make a hole. Insert the bag into each hole and squeeze gently until filling comes to the top. Pipe a question mark on top of some of the cupcakes and let the cupcakes reveal the gender.unknown
