Classic Cake
The best thing about a classic cake is that you can easily bake it at home with an easy and simple recipe.
Alternatively, you can always hire a baker near you and this comes at a very small price. You can have the cake decorated in pink and blue icing all over or at the base. Similarly, decorate the different layers in blue and pink, as it is fun to make guesses while cutting the cake. Most importantly, the cake, coupled with a glass of champagne or wine, will feed everyone at the party.
Sweet Cereal Treats
One of the greatest food ideas for a gender reveal party is to take the cereal bars to a whole different level. Cereal bars are full of protein and this is a great gluten-free option or even those that are dieting. Again, it is energy-laden to last you for the rest of the evening. To make them blend with a gender reveal party, have the treats evenly coated with pink and blue candy and let the guests pick either of the colors, depending on their guesses.
Cotton Candy
A party does not feel like it without the colorful cotton candy, especially now that you will be having kids around. The good thing about cotton candy is that it comes to win blue and pink colors, which makes it the perfect catering idea for a gender reveal party. On the other side, cotton candy is not easy to make at home, not unless you are a professional caterer. However, you can always look for a cotton candy maker near you.
Ice Cream
Almost everyone loves ice cream, and there is no better comfort food idea than licking on ice-cold cream from a colorfully colored cone. This feels even better if the party is happening in the early evenings or late afternoon. These are easy to make if you have an ice cream maker at home. If you do not have one, you can always hire, and then get the cones from the local supplies store in town. Decorate the creams in pink and blue and let the guests pick their color according to their guesses.
Pink or Blue Lemonade
There is no party if you do not have drinks; and lemonade is one of the best drink ideas for a gender reveal party. This is a healthy non-alcoholic drink and can be taken by just anyone, including vegetarians and gluten-free. It is easy to make and the ingredients are readily available from the food stores. Just cut the lemons into the desired pieces, put some strawberries or raspberries for the pink color, and sprinkle some blue food color for the blue lemonade.
Dipped Strawberries
Strawberries are heart-shaped, inexpensive, and easy to find in local food outlets. To make them blend with the party, prepare three colorfully colored chocolate; white for neutral, blue for a boy and pink for a girl. Afterward, dip the strawberries in each of the chocolate and let the guests pick their colors based on their guesses. For the undecided or those that are not sure, let them pick the white color.
The thing that people will live to remember is not the food, but the fun that came with the party. The secret to having fun at any party, not just a gender reveal party is sharing enough time with the guests. To achieve this, hire a caterer to prepare the food and serve the guests. This will allow you to have all the time at your disposal with the guests. Even as you do that, be sure to pick only the best caterer with the highest level of experience and you can rest assured that nothing will go wrong at your gender reveal party.
