Charm pull pregnancy announcement

So I need some ideas! I wanted to announce my pregnancy to our friends by making a cake or cupcakes and doing a charm pull with baby theme charms inside.
I need a design where I could incorporate ribbon so they will not guess.
I thought about doing a frog because I like frogs but the designs I found call for green nilla wafers and I don't know how or where to get those?
Any ideas?
I am open to other different ideas as well!

Make your own! Add a bit of green food color!

Don't know for a fact it will work, but worth a try! Good luck!

Awww congratulations... I'm not quite sure how you would be able to pull that off, though I'm willing to browse the net and see what I find Happy

It could be shaped like an old fashioned baby bonnet, so the ribbons would just look like decorations, to make it look like a real hat. Or a bassinet. Both shapes wouldn't be super hard to make with cake, and both tend to be frilly, anyway. Can't wait to see how it turns out! Show pics when the party's over!!

OK, so I'm a doofus. I was thinking Baby Shower, not announcement. My ideas would be totally opposite of what you want!!! SOOOOO, here's an idea...that's actually ON subject, LOL.
Something girlie. There are actually cakes that have ribbon designs made of icing, all over them, so you could do both. Just a simple circular cake, with a big icing bow in the center, and little ribbon bows seemingly just 'stuck' to the sides, but when they go to take them off their slice, SURPRISE! That might be kinda cool.

Thanks so much for the great ideas! Unfortunately plans didn't work out to do the charm pull. So I had to change my plan to fit the naturally occurring events. I had all of our friends get together for a group picture and said "smile say Harmony's pregnant!" So I have a great reaction shot of our friends. I love all the ideas! I am definitely going to try the nilla wafer recipe and I think I want to do a charm pull to announce the sex of the baby when we find out! I really appreciate the feedback! Thanks everybody!
