In short, a gender reveal party is a gathering of friends and family to “reveal” the gender of the new baby. Often, a gender reveal cake is used for the great reveal, (but there are other fun methods, too.)

In other words, a gender reveal cake is no ordinary cake. At a quick glance, it may look like a baby shower cake, but the inside reveals the gender of the baby. That is why it is extra special.

In this article, you will find tons of wonderful gender reveal cake ideas. However, while the cakes are spectacular, do scroll all the way down to the gender reveal cake cutting reactions! It’s the best part of any gender reveal cake.

How Does A Gender Reveal Cake “Reveal” The Gender Of The Baby?

If you plan to bake the cake yourself, the easiest and most common methods to create the reveal, are to:

• create a layer of pink or blue frosting, separating the cake layers; or
• one of the cake layers can be colored pink or blue; or
• the baker cuts a hole into the center of the cake and fills it with either pink or blue candy.
