If you’re expecting a new addition to the family, you’re probably looking for a way to share the news with excited friends and family. A gender reveal party can be the perfect way to do just that. For a delightful way to reveal your new child’s gender, partner with your local bakery shops on one of the ideas below. Your attendees will all enjoy themselves, and your reveal will be a sweet delight.

3 Ways to Use Baked Goods From a Local Bakery Shop at Your Gender Reveal Party

1. A Custom Cake

A cake cutting makes for the perfect photo op, and you can have the inner layer of frosting done in pink or blue to reflect the gender of your child. To match the theme of the party, complement the cake with cute toppers, such as a stroller, crib, and bottle. Once you’ve shared the gender of your child, everyone gets to enjoy a delicious slice of cake.

2. Filled Donuts

These tasty pastries make it easy to provide dessert, no matter how large the crowd is, and you can adapt them to your gender reveal party by using colored filling. Choose a raspberry jelly filling for a girl, or go with blueberry filling or custard tinted blue with food coloring for a boy. This dessert is also a great finger food, so you won’t have to worry about clean-up afterward.

3. Iced Cookies

You might not think you could disguise a gender reveal in a cookie, but you’d be surprised. Start by choosing cookies from your local bakery shop that will be easy to ice. Then apply a layer of pink or blue icing and let it dry. Top that with white frosting, and decorate that layer with colorful question marks, hearts, and phrases like “Boy or Girl?”
