Gender Reveal Burn-Away Cake

£100.00 - £260.00

Hand-delivered across London & Surrey

If you’re planning a gender reveal cake in London, make it one people will actually remember.

Our Gender Reveal Burn-Away Cake is designed for maximum anticipation, clean execution, and a genuinely unforgettable reveal moment. Delivered across London, this is a modern, interactive centrepiece that turns a simple announcement into theatre.

Complimentary delivery included, with live tracking and perfection guaranteed.

What Is a Burn-Away Gender Reveal Cake?

This cake features a specially designed burn-away top layer. When gently ignited, the top sheet disappears to reveal the colour beneath — pink or blue — unveiling your baby’s gender in a single, dramatic moment.

No smashing. No mess. Just suspense, fire, and a perfectly timed reveal.

Inside the Cake

At the heart of the design are two layers of freshly baked, heart-shaped vanilla sponge — coloured blue or pink depending on your reveal — filled and finished with smooth vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream. The burn-away layer sits cleanly on top, concealing the secret until the moment you choose to reveal it.

Why This Cake Works So Well

  • Designed specifically for gender reveal parties and baby showers
  • Interactive reveal moment guests love to watch (and film)
  • Clean, controlled burn-away — no collapsing cakes or chaotic cutting
  • Optional custom artwork on the burn-away layer

It’s dramatic without being gimmicky, and joyful without being over the top — exactly what a great gender reveal should be.

Custom Burn-Away Artwork

Want to personalise the reveal even further? You can customise the burn-away layer with names, due dates, or bespoke artwork.

Select the Custom Burn-Away Layer option when ordering, then reply to your order confirmation email with your artwork supplied as a PDF attachment.

How to Order Your Gender Reveal Cake (London)

  • Lead time: minimum one week. This cake is not available on shorter notice.
  • Select a delivery date at least one week ahead during checkout.
  • Within one hour of placing your order, email us the baby’s gender in reply to your confirmation email.
  • If the gender is a surprise, you may nominate a trusted person in writing (cc’d on the email) to send the information on your behalf.
  • Please note: delays in receiving the gender details may result in delayed delivery.

You may also add a short personalised message on a chocolate plaque.

Safety Guidance

The burn-away reveal is designed to be simple and controlled when used correctly:

  • Adults only — keep children at a safe distance during the reveal
  • Place the cake on a stable, heat-resistant surface
  • Use a lighter or culinary torch briefly at the centre of the top layer
  • Ensure good ventilation and keep flammable materials away

The burn-away layer is engineered for this purpose and does not affect the cake beneath.

Questions before ordering? Get in touch — we’re happy to help.

Gender reveals have become less about the information and more about the moment. Guests don’t remember the colour — they remember the pause, the anticipation, and the collective gasp.

This cake was created to deliver that moment cleanly and reliably. We tested burn-away materials, timings, and finishes extensively to ensure the reveal works every time without damaging the cake underneath or spoiling the presentation.

The result is a cake that feels modern, playful, and intentional — a reveal that unfolds exactly when you want it to.

Sponge:

Vanilla – Flour (wheat, gluten), sugar, egg, milk, buttermilk (milk), yoghurt (milk), sunflower oil, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, colouring Pink (glycerol, propylene glycol, silicon dioxide (E551), food colours E104, E155, E129), colouring Blue (glycerol (E422), propylene glycol (E1520), silicon dioxide (E551), water, colours E133 & E122).

Buttercream: Sugar, egg white, butter (milk), vanilla extract, salt.

Icing sheet: Modified starches (E1422, E1412), maltodextrin, glycerol, sugar, water, thickeners (E460i, E414, E415), dextrose, food colour (E171), emulsifiers (E435, E471, E491), preservative (E202), acidity regulator (citric acid, E330), artificial flavour, edible ink (black, yellow, magenta, cyan).

Wafer sheet: Potato starch (86%), water (11%), olive oil (3%), flavouring (vanilla), sweetener (sucralose, E955).

*Although not necessarily present in this particular product, colours used across our range may include E102, E104, E110, E122 and E129, which may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in some children.

All products are produced on premises handling eggs, gluten, nuts, peanuts, milk, sesame and soya and may contain traces. Cakes may contain cocktail sticks and dowelling for support.

Each cake is handmade individually. While your cake will closely match the images, small variations may occur.

Allergens: 🌾 Wheat (gluten), 🥚 Eggs, 🥛 Milk (dairy), 🌱 Soya, 🥜 Nuts and Peanuts. All our cakes are handmade in a kitchen that handles these allergens every day.

For this reason, we cannot in good faith label any cake as truly “free-from” or vegan — achieving that level of separation would require entirely separate premises. If you have a severe allergy, we recommend speaking to us before ordering so we can advise you personally.
