Dyed Deviled Eggs
No, dyed eggs aren’t just for Easter. This adorable gender reveal idea involves dyeing eggs in pink and blue coloring (here’s how), then making your favorite deviled egg filling.
Cotton Candy Toast
Toast baby with this pretty punch. You can use either pink or blue cotton candy, and make the mom-to-be’s drink with raspberry simple syrup and sparkling grape juice.
Colorful Cake Pops
Cake pops will always be on-trend. After all, they’re cute, easy-to-eat and so much fun to decorate. To reveal the gender, dye a white cake with the appropriate food coloring, then cover with white chocolate and pink and blue sprinkles. If you’ve never made cake pops before, get the how-to here.
Too-Cute Cookies
These cookies couldn’t be any cuter. Just use your favorite cutout cookie dough and a baby-themed shape (like this adorable onesie). Then decorate with tinted royal icing.
Piñata Cake
For a dramatic gender reveal, turn your favorite layer cake recipe into an edible piñata. To make, you’ll need 4-5 cake layers. Keep the bottom and top layers intact, then remove the centers of the remaining layers. Stack the cake, putting icing between each layer, then fill the center with pink or blue candies and sprinkles. Add the top layer and decorate as desired.
Pink or Blue Lemonade
No party is complete without a signature beverage! For your gender reveal party, craft colored lemonades. Try strawberry or raspberry lemonade for the pink drink, and spike plain lemonade with blue curaçao (or food coloring) for the blue.
Pretty Pretzel Rods
For an easy-to-eat snack, dip pretzel rods in white chocolate, then roll in colorful sanding sugar and sprinkles. Get the full recipe here.
