[Gender Reveal] Cute and Stylish Gender Reveal Cake Ideas (1–10)
icing cookies

The gentle pastel tones of the icing and motifs like baby bottles and tiny socks create a warm, lovely vibe.
The key is to fill the cake with treats that clearly indicate the gender—blue-toned goodies for a boy, pink-toned treats for a girl.
If making iced cookies feels a bit challenging, using a shop that sells custom iced cookies is also a great option.
Flower half cake
https://www.instagram.com/p/CduVv5CJzDS/For your gender reveal cake, how about choosing a cute half cake? A half cake uses only half of a whole cake.
For the base sponge, try using a whole-cake sponge cut in half or a sweet bread that’s already shaped for a half cake.
Hollow out the center of the sponge and add fruit that reveals the baby’s gender, or sandwich the fruit between two sponge layers—both are fine.
Cover the outside with cream so the fruit inside can’t be seen.
Finally, decorate with edible flowers, or place flowers made of marzipan or cookies on top, and your floral half cake is ready!
Cake topper & fruit
https://www.instagram.com/p/CnhBV-MpaK4/This is a cake decorated with a cake topper—an item used to adorn cakes—and fruit.
Cake toppers were originally most commonly used for wedding cake decorations, but lately you can also find ones for gender reveals with the gender written on them.
The cake is decorated with two kinds of fruit, and the cut cross-section reveals fruit that indicates the baby’s gender.
Store-bought items can of course be cute, but if you’re good at making cookies, I recommend handcrafting the cake topper yourself!
Gender reveal cake made with pancakes
https://www.instagram.com/p/CNJnj9ApN-U/For those who don’t usually bake, making a cake sponge can be quite challenging.
In that case, how about stacking a few pancakes instead, decorating them cutely, and making a gender reveal cake? Cut out a hole in the center while the pancakes are stacked and tuck fruit inside.
Cover the hole with the final pancake, then simply decorate the outside with cream and fruit.
You’ll end up with a cafe-style, stylish finish that’s sure to satisfy!
Pink & blue cream
https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci6uvIEO92x/This is an overseas-style gender reveal cake made with pink and blue cream! In Japan, cakes typically feature the natural colors of the ingredients, like white whipped cream or brown chocolate cream, but abroad, brightly colored cakes like rainbow cakes are hugely popular.
If you determine the gender by the fruit after cutting the cake, it might take a moment to figure out, but when the cream colors are clearly different, it’s easy to tell right away—which makes it even more fun.
If you want to make your surprise extra festive, be sure to use this as inspiration!
Muscat & Grapes
https://www.instagram.com/p/CjSoUeNpUAF/This cake uses two types of fruit that are the same shape but different colors: muscat grapes and regular grapes.
It’s said that muscat means a boy, and grapes mean a girl.
Hollow out the inside of a sponge cake and fill it with one or the other.
If you want to skip the step of making a hole, using a Baumkuchen is also recommended! Then simply cover the outside with cream so you can’t tell the color of the muscat or grapes from the outside, and you’re done.
If you decorate the top and sides with both muscat and grapes, it’s easy to explain the trick: once one of them appears, you’ll know the baby’s gender!
Miffy-themed cake
https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfd9vFUlLLv/This is an adorable gender reveal cake featuring a collaboration between fruits and Miffy! Around the Miffies cuddling in the center, it’s decorated with blueberries, cherries, and gender flags.
If you want to get creative with the reveal, we also recommend filling a hollow space in the middle of the cake with whole fruits instead of relying on the cut surface.
You’re free to change the characters to ones you, your partner, or the soon-to-be big brother or sister loves! Let’s make it a cake that everyone can celebrate together.
