Description of cakes for a gender party

The idea to organize a gender party came to Russia from the United States relatively recently. The essence of the party is that the parents-to-be will find out the gender of the child at the party. The most popular way is to use a cake: the color of the filling is pink or blue according to the gender of the baby. There are many different options for decorating a birthday cake.

The main secret of the gender cake is the color of the filling.... From above, the confection is covered with mastic or curd cream. At the same time, according to the outer shell of the cake, it is not clear who exactly will be born to the couple. Only by cutting the cake, parents will find out the gender of the future baby.

It is extremely difficult to buy such a cake in a store.

At the same time, parents can choose the external design, decor elements, the composition of the treat. The only secret will be the color of the biscuit and cream. The pastry chef needs to bake the cake as efficiently as possible so that it is not clear in appearance what color the filling is hidden inside.

In the process of ordering a festive confectionery, expectant mothers and fathers need to decide on many nuances. The first one concerns the shape of the cake. There may be several different options here:

• traditional round or square;
• triangular;
• non-standard figure in the form of a bootie, heart, bottle.

There are a lot of forms. It all depends on the individual preferences and imaginations of the customers, as well as on the professional skills of the pastry chef himself. It is clear that baking a round or square cake is much easier.In terms of cost, complex shapes will cost a little more.

Next, you should decide on the filling. The color is unknown, but you can fantasize with the taste. The most popular options are:

• tiramisu;
• whipped cream;
• berry jelly;
• caramel.

After the form and filling have been chosen, it is necessary to move on to the most interesting and crucial part. You can come up with a design yourself or focus on those options that are already in the confectionery portfolio. The top of the cake is often covered with mastic. It looks beautiful, but not everyone will like the taste.

If you want a treat without mastic, then attention should be paid to the equally popular cream cheese. This coating has an unrivaled taste and can hide the color of the inside of the cake.

As a decor, you can use all sorts of options: fresh berries and fruits, marshmallows and marmalade, cookies, chocolate, waffles and much more.

Also, themed inscriptions may be present on the top of the cake: "Boy or girl", "guess who" and some others.

The weight of the treat depends on the number of tiers, filling, type of decorative elements. Before starting the order, the confectioner will say the preliminary weight, and the final (without a significant difference from the original) will be known only when the confection is ready. The weight and number of tiers largely depend on the number of guests who are invited to the gender party.

The cost depends on the weight and complexity. On average, it is 1800-2000 rubles for each kilogram of the product. In general, such a cake will cost no less than 4 thousand rubles.

In order to make it easier to decide on the decor of a gender cake, it is recommended to pay attention to the most successful examples of such delicacies. Photos are willingly shared by both confectioners and customers.

• Figure 1 shows the original example. Cream cheese is used as a coating, and decorative elements in the form of pink and blue baby bodysuits are molded of mastic. Fresh berries are also present.

• Figure 2 shows another interesting option. The cover is the same as in the first case, but the decorative part consists of lollipops on skewers, marshmallows and curly meringues.

• The variant with mastic is shown in Figure 3. The decorations here are simple, but very neatly done.

• Figure 4 is also a good example of a gender cake with mastic figures. It looks very attractive.
