Each to their own. I dont really like these types of things for me as I feel like its me asking for people to spend money on me and I just dont feel thats required. I never had a baby shower either for the same reason. Lovely cakes though and a bit of fun

Is that really safe to eat afterwards?!
They look pretty though.

I have seen these in tik toks. Not something I am interested in, but I can see why people would like it

It’s certainly not something I’d do but it is much cheaper than hiring skywriters or flyovers.

I’ve been seeing lots of those cake burning videos in my feeds lately. Not something I’d do – I don’t really want to pick the ash off my cake but would be cool to see it in person. A gener reveal has a bit more meaning behind the burn than some I’ve seen

I’m not a fan of the whole idea of gender reveals, but at least this is a relatively harmless approach.

So it’s a paper covering the cake that burns away to reveal an actual cake? I never had gender reveals, I never knew what sex my babies were til they were born, but if I had to have one I’d want one that packed a bigger punch then this

Nah, not for me. Doesn’t appeal to me. Not a fan of gender reveal parties.

I can’t quite understand why so much fuss is made over the gender reveal. In my day you would just tell people. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gender reveals are the biggest waste of time and money!

That’s different. I’m not really into the whole gender reveal trend, but the idea is definitely novel.

I much prefer this over the other options, balloons or streamer poppers that are just unnecessary plastic. Or even worse, explosives that cause huge wild fires! And you get to eat it!
Personally I don’t think gender reveals are a thing, but each to their own.

We simply never felt for revealing the gender. But it’s certainly a different way to reveal the gender if that is what you want. My first thought was too that the cake would possibly have a burned taste/smell.

  I agree; we liked to keep it quiet until the arrival. I agree; I wonder how the cake would taste?

Not appealing to me; the cake trend or gender reveals.

It’s more restrained than most gender reveals. That’s a good thing.

There is always something new. This seems to be an American post so I wonder how long until they turn up here.

The new crazy things people come up with. Not something i would do but each to their own 🙂

Interesting idea! I was boring and found out from the doctor and didn’t tell anyone haha.
