Gender Reveal Cake, Revealed...

I did a gender reveal cake a couple of weeks ago. I was the only one who knew the sex of the baby and baked the gender into the cake.

The cake was a 7" square with 4 layers of lemon cake and raspberry buttercream filling. The frosting was lemon buttercream and decorated with fondant pieces to look like a present.

The inside was...PINK!

I did a pink ombre inside

I wasn't able to get a good picture of the cake cut open, boo. My fiance was browsing Facebook one night and he is actually friends with the girl who is expecting. They posted the cutest video of them cutting into the cake, he was like 'hey, this cake looks familiar, is it yours?!' Sure was!! This is lucky girl #3 for this sweet family. They looked over-joyed to have another girl!

I'll be making a gender reveal cake for a Friday gender real party/baby shower. The client who ordered the cake is the sister throwing a party for her brother and sister-in-law. The real kicker to this cake is that NOBODY knows the sex of the baby, except for the ultrasound tech and....me. How exciting is that?!

I received a top secret envelope last week with the results. The gender will be revealed with dyed cake batter and filling to match. The client wanted a present cake similar to this one:

This is the couples third child. They found out the sex with the other two children but decided to wait a while to find out with this one. It'll be a huge surprise for all their family and friends! What a wonderful way to celebrate such a joyous occasion. 

Stay posted for pictures of the cake and reveal later this week!
