Whether you’re not sure of your baby’s sex yet, have boy and girl twins, or are simply looking for something else other than the traditional blue or pink treats, there are plenty of gender-neutral cakes to buy from your local bakery. These offer more flexibility regarding planning and are becoming more popular as people begin to break away from traditional gender molds. Below are three unique ideas to consider.

Gender-Neutral Cakes You Can Get From a Bakery

1. Safari

Boys and girls alike love animals, and a safari-themed cake will be perfect for any intrepid little explorer. You can have the staff decorate the treat with giraffes, lions, and other creatures and write the birthday boy’s or girl’s name on top in a neutral color like red or yellow. This will perfectly accompany a backyard jungle birthday or a trip to the local petting zoo.

2. Music

Does your child love to bang on pots and pans, or did they recently take up music lessons? A cake covered in music notes, little guitars, and similar items is a fantastic way to celebrate their talent. If they’re up for it, perhaps your child could even play a little something for everyone, or they and their friends could do a talent show.

3. Ocean

If you spend every summer at the beach as a family or have a child who wants to be a marine biologist, get an ocean-themed cake. It can be decorated with starfish, beautiful seaweed, and other marine life all made of tasty icing. It will be the perfect snack for a backyard pool party.
