Where to Order a Cute Gender Reveal Cake

During my third trimester of pregnancy, I was obsessed with the idea of having a cute gender reveal. They looked so cute on Instagram and I knew that it was impossible to be surprised myself since local laws make it pretty hard.

In China, your doctor will never write down the sex of your baby because it’s illegal.

This law dates back to 1979 when the country established its famous one-child policy. Chinese families desperately wanted boys over girls, leading to sex-selective abortion which in turn, affected the human sex ratio – the relative number of males to females in a given age group.

To try to mitigate the practice, hospitals in China forbade doctors from telling parents the sex of their bundle of joy. But if you think it’s totally impossible, you should know that just because disclosing the sex of a baby is not allowed, it doesn’t mean curious parents haven’t been finding ways around it.

Doctors and parents come up with creative ways to beat around the bush. Whether it's asking if you should stock up on dresses or pants for your baby or whether you should buy your baby some dolls or cars. They get what you're trying to find out and usually, they'll find a way to let you know.

So, I tried to give my mother-in-law and my dad a memorable gender reveal. Read here to find out how it took multiple tries...

But back to the topic at hand, one of our favorite bakeries Mary Sweets has recently made gender reveals much easier for expecting parents with their fun and tasty cakes!

Their fancy ombre cakes start at RMB249 and you'll need to order at least three days in advance.

For those who are unfamiliar, what makes this different than a regular blue and pink cake is the surprise inside. When you cut into the cake, depending on the sex of your baby, you'll either get pink (for girl) or blue (for boy) sprinkles flowing out from the center, awing your guests and satisfying the curiosity of friends and family.
