Weird New Trend: Would You Reveal Your Baby's Sex in a Cake?

This is such a cute idea! It probably shouldn't be a big deal - your friends and distant family don't need to go to a "gender revealing" as well as the baby shower. But I'd probably do this to tell my parents and my husband's parents. It's a cute, close-knit revealing! Maybe have a little get-together on a Saturday at the grandparent's house and bring the cake to share the news with close family :)

I also wanted to say that I wouldn't keep the news from myself or my husband. We'd learn the sex together at the ultrasound. It's just a good way to let the grandparents know!

If the baby has Down's does the cake have black icing?

Obnoxious. Finding out is special and exciting enough. I wouldn't see why you'd have to try so hard to make it more so.

i think it's a cute idea. that's one of the first questions people ask when they find a woman is pregnant, so why not make the revelation fun?

It's a cute idea but it seems like it would work better at a baby shower or family gathering(if you aren't having a baby shower). This would save on the cost of an extra party that isn't really needed and you won't have people worrying if they HAVE to go to both. At least with this idea you won't have that odd relative or friend being upset because they weren't the first person you let know the gender of the baby.

This is similar to how I told my husband we were having a girl (after 2 boys this news was especially exciting!) Having had a CVS, we had decided to find out, but expected the results on a monday (it was Friday). I took the call, and then having nearly fainted, went to the ice cream store and got a pint of strawberry, wrapped it in ribbon that had tiny writing on it that said "it's a girl" and then showed up at a small family gathering my husband was at. As I served the ice cream, I didn't say anything at all, just let the surprise unfold. I will never forget the expression on my husband's face as he realized we were going to have a daughter. A moment none of us will forget!

i would do it with just me and my husband and kids (if we already had some). Then I would have a baby shower later. I would not wait until my child is born to know the sex... but i would also not want to know what it was right away because i would go crazy with all the planning.

I had my three children back in the day when husband's weren't in the delivery room with us. And, to my knowledge, no one knew the baby's sex until after their birth. So, I think the cake is a splendid idea, especially at a Baby shower when family and friends can all find out together.

I didnt think this was a trend!! I was planning on getting a cake and taking it to a Sunday dinner, when I am pregnant, and having my husbands grandmother cut the cake and have everyone find out together- well, my husband and I will know!
Man, I thought I was being creative- now I dont think I want to do this... anyone have any other ways of creatively letting your family know what gender your baby is?

This is cute. I'd do it!
