LUKE OR LEIA?

So many parents are fans of legendary sci-fi movie Star Wars, so it’s only fair to have one of those gender reveal cake ideas inspired by the Star Wars movies. A Luke or Leia cake combines pink and blue frosting with adorable images of the characters from the movie.

TRACTORS OR TIARAS

Although blue is most commonly used for boys, we’ve substituted green here instead. Green is for tractors and pink is for tiaras, but what the parents are expecting remains to be seen. Adding a toy tractor and a small tiara on top surely makes this cake even more unique. This one is amazing if you’re looking for something personal and original.

HE OR SHE? OPEN TO SEE…

Again, sweet and simple. This cake is a perfect combination of an adorable zigzag pattern, a skillfully designed bow on top, and the cutest little onesie outfits. The blue tie and pink skirt are creative variations on the traditional blue bow tie and pink bow.

BABY IN THE BOX

Now this gender reveal cake idea is just silly! And fabulous! Someone quite skillful at cake decorating created this one, and it’s beyond adorable. Baby is eagerly leaning inside and no one can see if it’s a boy or a girl! Don’t you just want to pick it up and hug it?

WHAT’S THE SCOOP?

If you’re having an ice cream party, here’s the perfect gender reveal cake for you. The top of the cake is decorated with melted ice-cream with pink and blue scoops. There is also a cute little banner that says, “What’s the scoop?!”

TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE BABY

The words of a famous lullaby “twinkle, twinkle little star… how we wonder what you are…” were the inspiration behind this gender reveal cake. Since the lullaby is normally sung to put the baby to sleep, it’s so cute to put moon and star decorations on the cake. The blue color of the frosting doesn’t mean that the family is expecting a boy, it’s only the color of the sky (which is why a pink bow was added). There’s still a surprise inside!

IT’S A… POLKA DOTS GENDER REVEAL CAKE

This cake is an amazing gender reveal cake idea if you want to make a simple one at home. All you need is plenty of food coloring in pink or blue, which will be used to color the inside of the cake. Adding a thick layer of frosting on top of the cake will prevent anyone from figuring out the big surprise up front. If you’re looking for creative gender reveal cake ideas, this could be the one.

QUESTION MARK SURPRISE CAKE

The concept with this one is pretty similar to the previous cake, but instead of food coloring you’ll use pink or blue colored candy. Buy a lot of sprinkles and small candies that will be hidden inside! The cake is very easy to make for anyone hosting a gender reveal party. How festive!

CANDY CUPCAKES

These delicious cupcakes are filled with candy in pink or blue, depending on whether the parents are expecting a boy or a girl. You simply bake any type of cupcakes you like and know how to make. For example, you could do something easy and make vanilla cupcakes. You’ll need to cut a hole in each cupcake, fill it with candy and then add frosting and sprinkles on top of it. As your guests try out the cupcakes, they’ll come across hidden candy inside, which will make everyone smile. Embrace yourself for congratulations. So sweet!

GENDER REVEAL FILLED CUPCAKES

These cupcakes are similar to the ones before, but instead of candy, these cupcakes are filled with colored frosting. The cupcakes on this image are vanilla bean cupcakes. They are made out of vanilla bean buttercream frosting so the blue would really shine through, but you can choose any other recipe for the cupcakes to match your preference.

BOY OR GIRL CUPCAKE SURPRISE

These cupcakes are so beautifully decorated that your guests are going to love them. Again the basic cupcake recipe will do, but what you want to focus on here is the topping. Use pink and blue food coloring to get the frosting of the desired color. Prepare the tops using cookie cutters and white frosting to spell the word girl or boy on the top. You can either choose to serve both and leave others wondering about the gender, or you can only serve one type of these cupcakes for an instant reveal. Ta-da!
