Gender Reveal Cake


My friend Mollie is expecting her first baby!  She decided it would be fun to reveal the gender to her family using a gender reveal cake.  I have not made one before, so we decided to create one together.  This was my first time "cake-creating" with someone else...it's a lot more fun!

 We started with mixing white cake mix and adding pink, red, and purple food coloring to the layers...because if you didn't guess already, Mollie's having a girl:)

 Here's Mollie adding cool whip to fill the cakes.  We also added a think layer of fresh strawberries.


 We used fondant and a circle cutter to add the colored circles to the cake.  Mollie loves bright colors, so she choose some of the bolder shades, as opposed to the traditional pastels. 

Using the letter cutters to write the cake message. 

It's a girl!  Due September 2012!  Can't wait to meet her!

Happy Gender Revealing :) -Erin
