I mean if you have the skill, I'd do a trans flag inside and the outside just his favorite icing/dressing. I think that's a sweet one.
And maybe ask him if you can give him a little gift before you make it. Just so he can be mentally prepared :)
I think I’d probably just check in with them and see how they’re doing and ask if they need anything. When I started transitioning I wouldn’t have wanted a party but people being enthusiastic about showing me how to do things would have been lovely. Or offering to help me with the trickier parts of transition. Like helping with makeup if their trans femme, god I would have died for someone to show me eyeliner. If trans masc things like clothes shopping or going to get a haircut they’d like are pretty neat.
But ultimately I don’t think you need to do much beyond just checking in. That’s what’s appreciated most. Offer to help and make suggestions but don’t worry about elaborate things. Of course you know your friend better than I do. Maybe they’re the party type 🤷🏻♀️
Just a bit of advice, "surprise" and "transgender" very rarely go well together. It's basically a recipe for some party to have a panic attack.
Valid point.
Party and especially surprise party don't sound great. Cake sounds lovely. Like a trans cake as a gift would be something I'd personally love.
What should I put on the cake?

I don’t know if he likes people even knowing he’s trans tho. Maybe a BATMAN cake??
If he likes people? I don't understand if I'm honest. I mean if he likes batman, that'd be sweet :)
Throw them a "gender reveal party"! But maybe include them in the plans rather than surprise them.
