Gender reveal cookies: 7 sweet ideas
Planning a gender reveal? Here are 7 ways to use New York cookies, from a hidden-colour surprise to team pink vs team blue.
The envelope, the balloon, the cake... and then the cookies. Here are seven ways to make your reveal a little sweeter.
1. The cookie toast
Hand everyone a cookie, count down from three and take the first bite together at the moment of the reveal.
2. Team pink vs team blue
Two plates, two flavours. Guests pick a team by picking a cookie. Tally up at the end.
3. The Red Velvet hint
Our Red Velvet is bright red inside. Cut one open on camera for a dramatic (if slightly misleading 😉) moment.
4. M&M's for everyone
No spoilers needed: M&M's cookies have every colour, so they work whatever the outcome.
5. A gift for the parents-to-be
A box of 6 with a note at checkout. Simple, personal, gone in a day.
6. Sweet table centrepiece
Stack cookies in a tower next to the cake. They photograph beautifully.
7. Take-home treat
One cookie per guest in a little bag on the way out.
Order
Pick a date at least 48 hours ahead and build your box. More ideas on our gender reveal page.
