Surprise for Hubby ♡ "Gender Reveal Cake" to Make When You Find Out the Baby's Gender

boy? or girl?

Once you find out you're pregnant, the next exciting and nerve-wracking thing is wondering whether the baby will be a boy or a girl??

It’s nice to hear the results from the doctor together, but another fun way to find out that we want to try or are curious about is revealing the baby's gender with a surprise cake.*

There’s a cake called the "Gender Reveal Cake" (性別判別ケーキ in Japanese)♩

What is a Gender Reveal Cake?♡

A Gender Reveal Cake is a cake designed to reveal the baby's gender.

You might say "boy?" or "girl?" like this.

For example, if the inside is blueberry (blue), it's a boy. If it's strawberry (red), it's a girl... The idea is that when you cut the cake, you find out the gender♡

International Version♡

In other countries, sometimes the expectant parents don’t even know the gender and they give the cake shop a piece of paper with the gender written on it from the doctor to have the cake made.

They plan and prepare it themselves, but it’s amazing that they can enjoy the surprise together.

How to Make a Gender Reveal Cake

There are three main ways to make it.

①

The first method is to simply use fruits like strawberries (for a girl) or blueberries (for a boy) in a standard sponge cake.

②

The second method involves hollowing out the sponge cake and filling the cavity with something, creating a "hidden" or "gimmick" cake.

(Chocolate and marshmallows seem to be popular choices).

③

Using Baumkuchen is also a good option since it already has a hole in it, making it easier to prepare.

Gender Reveal Balloons too♡

For the gender reveal party, in addition to the cake, a "Gender Reveal Balloon" would be a great decoration.

Inside the balloon, if it’s a boy, put blue confetti, and if it’s a girl, put pink confetti.

Inflate the balloon and then pop it with a pin or needle to create a beautiful surprise reveal with the confetti.

Record Ultrasound Photos with an App＊

One of the joys of pregnancy is the ultrasound photos♡

Since ultrasound photos use thermosensitive paper, they can fade away over the years.

There are apps that allow you to scan and print your ultrasound photos, so I recommend those as well♡
