How to make a Gender Reveal cake for dogs
After months of waiting, finally it’s time to plan your gender reveal party. It’s an exciting moment for all, and you might want to include your dog when you are getting ready to welcome a new family member.
There are many ways to reveal your gender, but what better way than having your dog do it?
What is a Dog Friendly Gender Reveal Cake?
Although your dog will be able to enjoy the gender reveal cake with you, it may require that you modify the recipe. You may need to make sure your dog is not allergic to any of the ingredients in your traditional cake. This is easy to do and your pup will love the gender reveal cake!
How to Create the Reveal
There are many options when it comes to the design of the cake. So you know your gender reveal cake will be a hit with your guests and pups, we’ve included a few of our most popular options.
Delicious Cake Crumb
This is a quick and easy way to make a dog-friendly gender reveal cake. You can make the normal cake batter, but add some pink or blue dye before baking. After baking the cake, coat it with neutral-colored frosting and then serve. The color of your cake will become apparent as your dog eats it.
Layered Frosting Cakes
It’s as easy as the colored cake crumb recipe, but layered frosting makes it easier for dog-friendly gender reveal cakes. This is great for people who like the decorating process more that the actual baking. The cake crumb method is the same: Frost the outer layers with a neutral colour, and then use pink or bleu on the inner layers. Your pup will enjoy the big reveal as he eats!

Frosting Bomb Cakes
The frosting bomb is a great option if you prefer cupcakes to the traditional large cake at your gender reveal party. Fill the cupcake with blue or pink frosting and then top it with neutral-colored frosting. It will be revealed as soon as the cupcake is bitten into.
The “Smash” Cake
The smash cake method is a great alternative. Prepare a bundt cake that is dog-friendly. Next, cover the hole with blue frosting or pink frosting and then add your dog’s favorite treats like bacon, cheese or jerky. You can reveal the gender of your baby to your guests by having your dog dig into the center of the treat.
