When Liza Leneé Campana and her partner learned they were expecting a baby, they decided to make the moment extra special with a fun gender reveal video. The plan? Let their dog, Beau, reveal whether they were having a boy or a girl by licking a dog-friendly cake with a secret color inside.
Campana spent two days carefully baking a white-frosted cake, excited to see Beau’s reaction. But when it came time for the big reveal, Beau had other plans. Despite their best efforts, Beau refused to eat the cake—no matter what they tried, including topping it with his favorite treat.

Beau’s refusal sparked plenty of laughs from viewers on TikTok. One user joked, “He’s like, ‘WHAT IF I don’t want to know, Liza?’” while another wrote, “He’s like, ‘If I don’t bite into it, I remain the only child.’”

In the end, the couple couldn’t wait for Beau to warm up to the cake, so they decided to reveal the gender themselves by breaking into the cake, which turned out to have pink frosting, indicating they were expecting a girl. They then smeared some frosting on Beau’s face to make sure he was still part of the video.

After the pressure was off, Beau finally decided he was in the mood for cake and dug right in.
Campana shared the behind-the-scenes footage on TikTok, where viewers found Beau’s defiance even more entertaining. One commenter said, “I feel very much bamboozled,” to which Campana responded, “I did all the planning and baking — I feel bamboozled by him!”
Whether or not Beau is thrilled about the new addition to the family, it’s clear he’s already teaching his little sister the importance of standing her ground.
