[Gender Reveal] Cute and Stylish Gender Reveal Cake Ideas (1–10)
Cake with a Moomin motif
You can’t help but feel warm and fuzzy with this gender reveal cake featuring Moomin characters! Decorate around Little My’s cookie with fruits that represent a girl, and around Snufkin’s cookie with fruits that represent a boy, then reveal the cut cross-section for a surprise announcement.
As long as the gender is easy to understand, you can of course use characters from other anime or games.
How about brightening up that once-in-a-lifetime, heart-pounding moment with a cake featuring your favorite character?
Small gender reveal cake
If a whole cake feels a bit too big for just two people, we recommend gender reveal cupcakes in palm-sized portions! They’re easier to make than a whole cake, so they’re perfect for those with little ones who don’t have a lot of time for baking.
With just a small amount of frosting and some silver dragees or other sprinkles, they still look festive—making them an easy option even for expectant mothers who are watching their weight.
Savor big happiness in a small cake and enjoy the moment of the reveal!
Cake made with edible flowers
Decorate mainly with edible flowers, and you’ll have a beautiful gender reveal cake reminiscent of a wedding cake! Tuck two kinds of fruit among the flower field so that the cross-section reveals the baby’s gender.
There are many types of edible flowers available, so you might choose them based on their meanings in the language of flowers or decorate with blooms that hold special memories.
The gentle hues of the flowers will amplify the joy, and they’ll surely set the stage for blooming conversations about the future.

Strawberry & Blueberry
Announce your baby’s gender with a surprise using a fruit-filled cake! Strawberries, blueberries, and “Boy?” “Girl?” flags decorate the top, and the gender is revealed by the color inside when you slice it—a gender reveal cake.
Cakes loaded with fruit tend to be lower in calories than those using chocolate or cookies, so even expectant moms who are careful about weight management can enjoy them with more peace of mind.
For this once-in-a-lifetime happy moment, why not celebrate with a sweet-and-tangy cake and no extra worries?
A cake with The Bears’ School motif
A cake themed after the popular picture book The Bears’ School, loved by little kids, is perfect for a gender reveal! Up to the step where you hollow out the sponge and fill it with fruit or candies, you can follow a standard gender reveal cake recipe.
For decoration, try placing cookies of The Bears’ School characters Jackie and David around the cake.
Brown Jackie is a girl, and white David is a boy, so they’re perfect as decorations, too! The cake’s gentle, heartwarming vibe will make everyone feel warm and happy.
Cake made with Peko-Poko chocolate
This cake uses chocolates featuring Fujiya’s characters Peko-chan and Poko-chan.
As a gender reveal cake, it’s fine to follow the usual approach: hide a single type of fruit inside with cream.
For the outer decoration, let’s use Peko-chan and Poko-chan chocolates to build excitement about the baby’s gender! The Peko-chan and Poko-chan chocolates sold at supermarkets and convenience stores come on sticks, so you can simply stick them into the cake as is.
You can also remove them from the sticks and place them on top—they look adorable that way, too.
Since the characters are a girl and a boy, they’re perfect decorations for a cake that reveals the baby’s gender!
Cake made with chocolate confectionery
Will it be Marble Chocolates or Apollo that spill out from the inside? This sweet gender reveal cake is irresistible for chocolate-loving couples.
The decorations on top are cute enough on their own, but once you cut into the cake and candies tumble out, you’re guaranteed to get wildly excited! It’ll be a bright, fun surprise.
Just be warned: it’s frighteningly high in calories, so be careful not to get carried away chatting and overeat!
