Hagerstown Practice Offers Cake To Reveal Baby Gender To Expectant Parents

Lauren Hadavand and her husband, Ali, are expecting their first child on Nov. 28. 

The Martinsburg, W.Va., couple attended Lauren's 20-week ultrasound together last month at Capital Women's Care in Hagerstown. An ultrasound is generally done halfway through pregancy to check for abnormalities or genetic defects. During the procedure, the ultrasound technician can usually determine the baby's gender.

But rather than have the technician tell the gender of their baby, the Hadavands opted to find out in a nontraditional way — with a cake provided to them after the procedure. 

Carrie McMahon, who is a physican's assistant at the practice, started offering the gender-revealing cakes to patients about nine months ago.

We did three of these this summer. Parents in Texas the expectant young family here in Salisbury. They used skype when they cut the cake. It was either pink or blue inside. All the family got to celebrate together.

Also did one where the sonogram was sent to my bakery. On the sonogram was labeled boy or girl. So at the family gathering they all found together pink or blue. (It was pink).
My bakery Cakes by David. Where anything is possible.

this is a great idea. really would be neat for a baby shower, assuming everyone could keep it a secret until then.

Have the Doctors office call me. I can keep a secret. Someone else can place the cake order.
