Gender Reveal Cake

Gender Reveal Cake

There is a growing trend with expectant moms and dads to find out the baby’s gender with a party.  The parents receive news of the baby’s gender in a sealed envelope and then use creative ways to share the surprise.  My favorite way is using cake of course!  But I haven’t had the chance to make a gender reveal cake until recently.

It’s a girl!  I baked a vanilla cake and colored it pink.  Then I covered the entire cake in white buttercream roses.  I tried so hard to make sure no crumbs were peeking out, that would have ruined the surprise!  I added a pink and blue fondant bunting to the top of the cake to add to the suspense.  This was so much fun to be a part of, and I’m so glad I was sent this picture after the cake was cut!

  1. This is the cutest thing ever!! I love the pink and blue flags on top and as always your buttercream roses look gorgeous!

  2. I didn’t know about the whole gender reveal cake movement– what a cute idea! and boy, those are some righteously lovely flowers. You are such a talent.

  3. Who knew this was a trend? Would you consider a video tutorial and how to make those gorgeous roses.

    1. I would love to make a video tutorial! I’ll put that on my to-do list and take care of it asap!

  4. How do you make the roses?? What tip did you use? I am making a smash cake for my cousin and the cake looks like this!!

    1. I either used a Wilton 1M or 2D tip. They are very similar and I often use either one depending on how they look to me that day. I like to test them both out and see how I’m feeling!
