Babyshower and gender reveal cakes are celebration cakes made to order for a new arrival, from elegant babyshower cakes to gender reveal cakes that hide a pink or blue surprise inside until the moment you cut them, each one handcrafted fresh rather than mass-produced. Whether you want the big reveal or simply a beautiful cake to celebrate the bump, every one is baked to order at an independent cake shop Birmingham trusts.
We are an independent, family-run cake factory in Birmingham, trusted with more than 950 five-star Google reviews (4.9★) and holding a 5-star FSA food hygiene rating.
Few moments are as exciting as sharing the news of a new baby, and the cake is right at the heart of it, the centrepiece of the babyshower, or the showstopper that announces whether it is a boy or a girl. A made-to-order cake lets you celebrate exactly how you want, from a pretty, neutral babyshower cake to a dramatic gender announcement cake with a hidden surprise.
This guide covers how a gender reveal cake works, how we keep the secret, the flavours available, and the designs people request most, plus matching cupcakes and cake pops, broken down in full towards the end of the page.
The magic of a gender reveal cake (sometimes called a sex reveal cake) is all on the inside. The cake looks neutral on the outside, often white, cream or a soft mix of pink and blue, and the moment you slice into it, a pink or blue centre reveals the news to everyone at once. A gender cake like this turns the simple act of cutting into the highlight of the whole party. We create the reveal with a tinted sponge or a coloured centre, so the first cut is the big moment.
For a true surprise, you do not even have to know yourself. Send us the sealed result from your scan and we will keep it secret, even from you, building the right colour inside so the reveal is a genuine surprise for the whole room, mum and dad included. It is one of the loveliest ways to find out.
The reveal does not have to be a cake. We also make gender reveal cupcakes with a hidden colour inside, and cake pop gender reveal sets that each crack open to show the news, perfect for handing one to each guest. Many families order a centrepiece cake plus matching treats so everyone gets to be part of the moment.
Configure your order through our online shop at any hour, or contact us directly for a bespoke design. We confirm the design, colours, flavours and your reveal details before we begin, then bake everything fresh for your date, nothing is frozen and nothing is mass-produced. For a fully bespoke design, our Personalised Cakes service covers hand-painted detail and custom work.
The combination is yours to build. Choose a sponge from Vanilla, Chocolate, Vanilla & Chocolate, Red Velvet and Rainbow Vanilla; add a cream filling from Vanilla, Chocolate, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Strawberry, Lemon, Oreo, Biscoff, Hazelnut or Cream Cheese; and a jam or spread such as Strawberry, Raspberry, Black Cherry, Lemon Curd, Biscoff, Salted Caramel or Hazelnut. For a gender reveal, a light vanilla sponge takes the pink or blue reveal colour beautifully, while a classic vanilla with raspberry keeps a babyshower cake fresh and crowd-pleasing.
On dietary matters: our base recipe is nut-free, meat-free and alcohol-free and is suitable for vegetarians. We are not an allergen-free kitchen and we do not offer egg-free cakes, and because our kitchen handles a range of ingredients we cannot guarantee against the presence of any allergen. If anyone celebrating has a diagnosed food allergy, please speak to us before ordering.
Make the whole celebration coordinate. Our Match & Save range adds matching cupcakes and cake pops in your theme, so the table looks designed as one. For a reveal, gender reveal cupcakes with a hidden colour, classic pink and blue gender reveal cupcakes, and pregnancy reveal cupcakes each let a guest discover the news in their own bite, and you can order gender reveal cupcakes and gender cupcakes alongside the main cake in a single order. For a bigger babyshower, a full dessert table ties everything together in soft neutrals or pink-and-blue.

Unfortunately, no. Our cake shop Birmingham delivers to all B1 to B99 postcodes, and we use advanced route management software to optimise delivery routes and timings. Changing one delivery slot would affect other customers and disrupt the carefully planned schedule, so we are unable to adjust delivery time windows once they have been allocated.
We appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure every cake is delivered efficiently, safely, and on time.
Yes, our cake shop Birmingham can accommodate a change of delivery address if you contact us before 8:00 am on the day of delivery and the new address is within half a mile of the original location. Because we deliver across all B1 to B99 postcodes using carefully optimised routes, changes beyond this distance may disrupt other customers’ deliveries and therefore cannot be guaranteed.

Gender reveal designs keep the outside neutral and save the colour for the cut. Decide on the style first, minimalist, elegant, or fun and playful, and the detailing follows. Here are the designs people request most, each built fresh around your reveal.
A minimalist gender reveal cake, clean lines, a single neutral shade, a simple “he or she?” topper, keeps all the drama for the slice. A crisp white gender reveal cake is modern, photogenic and lets the pink or blue centre do all the talking.
An elegant gender reveal cake with soft buttercream, delicate detailing and a gentle blush-and-blue palette suits a grown-up celebration beautifully, understated on the outside, joyful on the inside.
For a classic look, a cake (or matching pink and blue gender reveal cupcakes) that plays with both colours on the outside builds the suspense before the reveal, a fun, festive centrepiece for a big party.
A bold question mark, “boy or girl?” lettering or a playful theme makes a fun gender announcement cake that gets everyone guessing before the big cut.
A small gender reveal cake is perfect for finding out with just close family, while matching cupcakes or a cake pop gender reveal set works brilliantly for sharing the moment with a larger group.
Whatever you have planned, we will build your gender reveal around it, and keep the secret safe until the big moment.
