Two layers of fluffy freshly baked heart-shaped sponge in blue or pink vanilla sponge, vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream, and a burn-away top layer to reveal the gender of your bun in the oven underneath.

It's all the rage on TikTok and Instagram. It's bang-on trend. It's high drama and fun. Since nobody really cares about the gender of your baby, any added drama around the news is very welcome at your baby shower or gender reveal party. Simply use a blow torch, lighter or matches to burn the centre of the top layer and watch the magic happen.

Want to customise the top burn-away layer to include names, due dates or any other artwork? Select the Custom Burn-Away Layer option and send us your artwork as a pdf attachment in response to the order confirmation email.

How to order

  • LEAD TIME - one week. This cake is NOT available with any shorter notice. Please select a date no less than one week away on check-out. Once your order is placed, please email us the gender of the baby within one hour of placing the order in response to your confirmation email. If it's a big secret, we suggest nominating someone you know (and trust) to send us the gender on your behalf.

They can then email us the gender and your secret is safe! Please note, any delays in sending across the information may result in delayed delivery of the cake.
  • Personalise it further by adding a short message on a chocolate plaque.

This cake was inspired by the growing trend of adding drama and excitement to gender reveals. Because it's hard to get other people excited about someone else's baby's gender—I just don't think it's one of those things people, other than the expecting parents, care about! So what do you need to get them interested? DRAMA! And what could possibly be more dramatic than setting a cake on literal fire to reveal the gender? Well, I can think of a few other things, but this is the most delicious and safest way to do so.

The Gender Reveal Burn-Away Cake is the perfect way to add intrigue and suspense to your gender reveal party. With fluffy layers of pink or blue sponge, frosted with smooth vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream, and topped with a burn-away layer, this cake guarantees a fun and interactive reveal. Simply light the centre of the cake, watch the top layer burn away, and unveil the gender in a spectacular moment of surprise.

What makes this cake truly special is the burn-away top layer, which creates an exciting visual experience that’s sure to impress your guests. It’s a fun, modern take on the traditional gender reveal and can even be customised with names, dates, or artwork for an extra personal touch.

This cake is perfect for baby showers, gender reveal parties, or any event where you want to create a memorable moment. It’s ideal for parents-to-be who want to make their big reveal exciting and share the moment with loved ones in a unique way.
