Gender Reveal Cake

Since we are stuck at home for COVID-19 pandemic, no one could go with me to my ultrasound to see the baby gender. When I got home I made a gender reveal cake for the family to cut open and see the gender of baby. I also Zoom called extended family members so that they could be apart of the excitement too!

1. I mixed up a white cake mix then add either blue or pink food coloring for the reveal.
2. Then I greased 2 heart shaped cake pans and put half of the mix into each pan.
3. I baked them according to the directions on the box and then let them cool.
4. I mixed up some of my homemade buttercream to cover the cake with. 1 cup butter, 1 cup Crisco, 4 cups powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1 tablespoon milk (if thick).
5. Last I colored the left over food coloring blue and pink to decorate the cake with, I wrote “Brother or Sister?” on the cake.
6. My husband cut open the cake to reveal the gender during our Zoom call with family!
