Pregnancy is an exciting time, with lots of opportunities to bring family together to welcome the new addition to your family. A favorite way to celebrate the new baby is with a gender-reveal party. There are many creative ways that you can announce the gender of your new child, but a gender-reveal cake is an old standard that is always a great option.

An Excuse to Get Together

Nothing brings family together like a new baby – and cake! Throwing a gender reveal party with a cake is an excellent way to bring your whole family together. Play baby shower games, and have your family vote on what gender they believe the baby is. Having a tally board on display for guests to vote is a great way to engage friends and family in the fun. Then, cut the cake and see who guessed correctly!

You Can Have Your Cake and Eat it Too

There are many ways that you can reveal the gender of your baby, from popping a confetti-filled balloon to exploding colored chalk, but a cake is the only gender-reveal prop you can eat! Everyone loves to eat cake, so you’ll feel double the joy when you cut into it and see pink or blue inside.

When you are planning a child’s birthday, there are many things to consider. Picking out a cake should be one of the first things on your list. You could go to a grocery store and get a generic cake that says “Happy Birthday” on it, but do you really want to do that? While it is convenient, it lacks a personal touch. They’re only this young once, so make these memories extra special with a custom cake.

Creating a Theme – What is your child into these days? Is he going through a pirate phase? Is she all about unicorns? The theme of your party should reflect your kid’s wonderful personality and their interests. While you’re picking out décor for the party, you can also order a custom cake in Chicago, IL, that matches the theme.

Your Child’s Individuality – As a parent, you want to encourage your kids to be individuals. Let them show their creativity and individuality by asking them to help you design the cake! It will be a fun activity for both of you and help your child engage with their creative side. And with a variety of flavors to choose from, you can cater to their personal taste as well.

Enough for All Their Friends – When you order a custom cake, you can be sure that you will have enough to go around.

Sometimes a little indulgence is just what you need, and what better way to indulge your sweet than with wine and cake? Here is a guide to help you choose the perfect wine to go with Jarosch’s specialty cakes near Chicago, IL.

Red Velvet – Pinot Noir

Red velvet is known for its delightfully smooth texture and cream cheese frosting. Pinot noir is the perfect accent to the chocolate undertones in red velvet cake.

Devil’s Food Cake – Red Blends

Chocolate and red wine are a match made in heaven. Red blends like cabernet, Grenache, and Syrah are excellent pairings for rich devil’s food.

White Cake – Riesling

The “off-dry” characteristic of Riesling is perfect for bringing out the flavors of vanilla-flavored cake. Pick up a white cake with vanilla icing from Jarosch, and get a bottle of Riesling on your way home and enjoy!

Lemon – Prosecco

Prosecco’s delicate citrus flavor is the perfect compliment to the lemon-flavored cake. The bubbles in prosecco will also intensify the tart flavors in the lemon, making both the wine and the cake taste so much better.

Yellow Cake with Chocolate Icing – Bordeaux

The notes of berry flavor and earthy aroma of Bordeaux is a beautiful contrast to the richness of the chocolate icing and the yellow cake underneath.
