How do I prepare for a gender reveal?
Here’s a simple way to set the scene:
- Palette – Stick to a neutral base with pink and blue touches, such as napkins, balloons, or bunting.
- Photo spot – Choose a well-lit space or add a backdrop for announcement photos.
- Reveal props – Use confetti balloons, smoke cannons, or cake-cutting as the main reveal moment.
- Table styling – Add pastel decorations, baby blocks, or small flowers for a decorative touch.
- Gender Reveal Cake – Put the Gender Reveal Drip Cake in the centre of the table to feature in photos and to make the first slice a key moment.
What food should I serve at a gender reveal?
Keep the menu light and fun, with a mix of sweet and savoury:
- Mini sandwiches and sliders
- Fruit platters with pink and blue berries
- Coloured macarons or cupcakes
- Order the Gender Reveal Drip Cake as the main dessert
This keeps the focus on the reveal while offering a balanced spread.

It anchors the dessert table and becomes the highlight of the reveal moment during a baby shower.
