Vintage Buttercream Gender Reveal Cake with Pastel Rosettes

There’s something so charming about keeping a gender reveal cake soft and subtle.
This vintage-inspired design uses traditional buttercream piping, layered ruffles, delicate swags, and tiny rosettes in pastel tones. I love this kind of work because it combines my favorite piping techniques with a color palette that feels joyful but calm.

The client wanted a simple and elegant reveal, so we chose an ivory base and added just a bit of color. It’s the kind of cake that feels timeless, one that could belong in any decade and still make people smile.

Floral piping and vintage techniques are my specialty, and I love how each version brings a new personality. This one felt soft, classic, and perfectly balanced between celebration and simplicity.
