Boy or Girl? A Wonderful Surprise of "Gender Reveal Cake" from Mom for the Baby! ♡

Do You Know About "Gender Reveal Cake"?

Have you heard about the "Gender Reveal Cake" that is gradually spreading among pregnant moms-to-be? ♡

A gender reveal cake is a surprise cake to announce the baby's gender to the husband!

Gender means sex, and reveal means to disclose. ♩

You can tell if it's a boy or a girl by the color of the cream inside the cake once you cut it! ♡

The baby's gender is something both parents are very curious about.

Of course, either one is a joy, but it would be exciting to announce it to the dad-to-be in such a surprise-filled way, right? ♩

Originally an Idea from Overseas ♡

The gender reveal cake originated overseas and is commonly referred to as the "boy or girl cake." ♩

In Japan, it is also known as a gender identification cake.

The colors are soft pink and blue, with designs featuring baby shoes or crowns made from marzipan or chocolate decorations being quite popular.

It's wonderful and admirable to convey the baby's gender to him with such a cute cake.

I want to eat it together while discussing, "What should we name the baby?" ♡

Gender Reveal Cakes: Order or DIY!

Since you can hardly find a cake shop in Japan that sells a specific "gender reveal cake," those attempting a gender identification cake in Japan tend to:

☑ Order from a cake shop that can make custom cakes

☑ Make it at home

☑ Purchase online

It seems that they prepare the cake by one of these methods.

On 'cake.jp', you can order a gender reveal cake that is sugar-free and cuts 50% of sugar specifically designed for pregnant women.

They also seem to avoid using additives as much as possible, so it feels more reassuring compared to regular custom cakes.

The price is ¥5,832 (tax included).

If the fruit that comes out is strawberry, it's a girl; if it's a banana, it's a boy!

The result from cutting the cake was a banana! ♡

There are also various patterns that do not show the gender through the color of the cream.

When Should You Prepare a Gender Reveal Cake?

The baby's gender can be determined around the 16th week of pregnancy when the external genitalia is formed.

Although there's individual variation, it is said that by the 24th week of pregnancy, you can clearly confirm the gender difference with ultrasound.

Since the doctor informs you of the gender during a prenatal check-up, how about surprising your husband if you're going to a check-up alone after the 16th week? ♡

Depending on the shop, custom cakes usually take a few days to prepare, so you might need to keep the gender a secret from him for a while! ♡

Gender Reveal Balloons Too! ♡

For a gender reveal party to announce the baby's gender, you might want to prepare "gender reveal balloons" along with the cake! ♡

Inside the balloons, if it's a boy, you can fill it with blue confetti; if it's a girl, use pink confetti and then inflate the balloon.

Pop it with a pin or needle to create a burst surprise with the scattered confetti revealing the gender! ♡

A three-piece set for making gender reveal balloons is available at the marry shop! ♡
