Gender reveal cake
Gender reveal parties are a great way to bring your family and friends together to make that special announcement – is the baby-to-be a boy or girl?
One of our bespoke cakes is the perfect way to share this important news with your family and friends. A beautifully crafted cake will make your announcement both fun and delicious.
There are many options for a gender reveal cake. The above cake is a firm favourite. This popular cake design is iced half with blue icing and half with pink icing and blue and pink baby feet. The toppers are baby shoes made from icing, one blue baby shoe and one pink baby shoe. On the front of the cake the question – Boy or Girl?
The reveal is made when the cake is cut. The cake is a vanilla sponge layered with strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream. The sponge is coloured either pink or blue, revealing the gender of the baby.
An alternative to coloured sponge is a vanilla sponge with a pocket or hollow in the middle which is filled with either blue or pink sprinkles or small candies. The coloured sprinkles tumble from the cake when it is cut, creating the perfect photo opportunity.
The buttercream filling between the cake layers can be coloured blue or pink instead of colouring the sponge. This option allows for greater choice in the sponge flavour. A chocolate sponge can’t be coloured, but if your favourite cake is chocolate then the buttercream filling or a hollow in the cake filled with blue or pink sprinkles can be coloured to reveal the gender
Some soon-to-be parents choose a cake which is neutral on the outside, decorated with cream/ivory icing or buttercream and the inside of the cake will have coloured sponge or sprinkles.
How to order a gender reveal cake without knowing the gender?
Many expectant parents don’t know the baby’s gender until the cake is cut. They can avoid finding out by asking, at the scan, for the gender to be written down and put in a sealed envelope. This envelope will be given to the cake maker who will include the appropriate colour inside the cake.
Gender reveal parties are usually planned for the second trimester and are often organised by a close family member or friend.
