21 Gorgeous Gender Reveal Cupcakes For Your Announcement
1.Boy or Girl
The ‘boy or girl’ sentiment on cupcakes is a classic approach to gender reveal cupcakes. Have a mix of topped cupcakes like this, and intersperse with pink and blue cakes for a classic feel.
Get guests to make their guess by picking the colored cupcake of their choice.
2. Pink, White & Blue Themed
You can’t beat a classic white, pink and blue theme across all your cupcakes. Keep your guests guessing even longer as they wait for the big reveal on your cake.
3. Swirls & Sprinkles
If you like something a little more modern, pastel pink and blue cupcakes are a great move. I adore the different styles of icing on top for added interest. Add a little bit of extra sparkle for your guests with sparkly sprinkles.
4. Oh Baby Neutral Cakes
The classic pink and blue route isn’t for everyone, and gender neutral decor and cupcakes continues to be a rising trend for gender reveal parties.
Lean into those rich, warm neutral colors like chocolate browns and taupes.
5. Question Mark
Top each of your cupcakes with an adjacent pink or blue question mark. Topped with beautifully piped icing, these gorgeous cakes will go down a treat with your guests.
6. Gender Neutral & Super Sweet!
Another lean into gender neutral colors, and this time using the ‘oh baby’ sentiment.
Bear themed toppings are a popular choice for gender neutral colors, it creates such a cosy, warming aesthetic.
7. Lollipop Cake Pops
Instead of classic cupcakes, try lollipop cake pops in classic pink and blue colors. The little feet toppings add a really sweet finished look, and they will pop in those photos for the ‘gram.
8. Stork & Babies
These classic toppings add a really sweet and darling theme to the cupcakes. Use baby storks, a baby face and boy or girl toppings in those soft baby colors.
9. Traditional Cakes
These traditionally designed cupcakes feature a classic vanilla sponge, with soft white, pink and blue pastel toppings.
10. Team Pink, Team Blue
Get some team pink and team blue cupcakes made up for the team! Keep them simple with white icing, with delicate pink and blue cake toppers such as little feet or roses.
11. Whimsical Feel
The ‘oh baby’ sentiment is such a sweet one and I love the whimsical feel of these cupcakes with clouds, bows and love hearts.
Stick with a classic white piped icing for the base, it lets the pink and blue tones pop beautifully on top.
12. Teddy Bear Themed
Teddy bear themed gender reveals and baby showers are a huge trend for 2025. It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or girl, it’s a universal theme that’s loved.
The simple addition of the bear toppers adds a really sweet feel.
13. Sweet Like Honey
There’s nothing like a Winnie the Pooh themed gender reveal, and how epic are these cake pots with the honey pot sticks?!
Opt for pink and blue throughout with some fun additions of yellow for a pop of warm color against the pastels.
14. Gender Reveal Cupcakes
Get your guests involved in the true magic of a gender reveal, and rather than having plain sponge cupcakes, get the chosen color added to each cupcake so you can all reveal the gender at the same time.
Just make sure everyone bites into it at the same time! If you’re having a staggered reveal with friends and family, this is also a really nice way to do it.
15. Mermaid Inspired
If there’s ever an excuse for a mermaid themed bash it’s a gender reveal!
Add a bit more vibrancy with deeper hues of pink and blue and top with sparkly balls.
16. Guess What?
Lean into something a little different than a standard question mark topper. These could easily be added onto simple cupcakes, these glittery question mark bodysuit toppers are adorable and so easy to recreate.
17. Candy Colored Treats
Lean into candy colored tones of pink, blue and cream for a super sweet feel.
Add a mix of colored icing to each cupcake for a gender reveal cupcake with a difference.
18. Baby Faced!
Different, but very cool!
These life like baby faced cupcakes might terrify or endure you!
19. Floral Inspired
If you’re hosting a spring gender reveal, you may want to choose a flower or baby in bloom theme.
These floral inspired cupcakes fit the bill, with pink icing which looks like delicate roses.
20. Dresses or American Football?
You don’t even need to mention ‘pink or blue’ or ‘boy or girl’ here, use dresses and American football toppers instead! They pop against the bright colored icing.
21. Frilly Cupcakes
Add a classic feel to cupcakes with a frilly edged iced topper.
The white icing adds a pure and simple feel, with pink and blue themed toppers across them all.
