Pick of the Week - May 2, 2011

Having a baby?  Want to know what the gender of your baby is going to be?  Want to make it a surprise for not only yourself, but friends and family too?  Have a gender reveal cake at your next baby shower!


18 years ago today my nephew, David, was born. (Happy birthday, David Cody!)  I remember all the anticipation building up while we waited to find out the gender of my sister's little bundle of joy.

So how does this work?  Once you attend that all important appointment where the doctor can finally and decisively tell you the gender of your baby....don't let them tell you!  Instead, have the doctor write down the gender of the baby, place it in an envelope, and seal it up tight!  Take the envelope to your favorite baker and ask them to create the inside of the cake to correspond with the gender of your baby, that is blue for a boy or pink for a girl.  The outside of the cake should be gender neutral.  

When the timing is right and you're surrounded by people you love,  you can cut into the cake and reveal the good news!  Below are some different ways that people have decorated their reveal cake.  Happy planning!
