Gender reveal cakes are a creative and fun way to share exciting news with loved ones.

The concept is simple: the inside of the cake reveals the gender of the baby through the color of the sponge or filling, while the outside remains neutral or themed to keep everyone guessing.

Some ideas for cakes we have made in the past:

“Spill the News” Gender Reveal Cake Ideas With Sprinkles:

A hollow center filled with sprinkles or small candies in pink or blue. Cutting into this and watching the filling fall out will create that champagne moment of true celebration when the baby’s sex is revealed.

Teddy Gender Reveal Cake Topper

Nods to the actual baby can be done in a way that feels elevated and attractive. Gone are the days when characters were just plain tacky. We adore this little geometric teddy bear atop a modern, pink and blue gender reveal cake to inspire and delight.

Cream Puff Tower Gender Reveal Cake

Tower of pink and blue frosted cream puffs.

Parents who balk at tradition might consider a tower of tiny treats like cream puffs or donuts in lieu of a standard gender reveal cake. This is a creative and delicious idea that requires no cutting and minimal cleanup to boot.
