Some of you will already know that I love to bake. What some of you don’t know is that I have recently tried my hand at baking for dogs. More specifically, baking birthday cakes for dogs!
I’m only two cakes in so far, but they’ve gone down a treat! The sponge was essentially a peanut butter and carrot cake, lightly sweetened with honey and the frosting is mashed potato and natural yoghurt. I tasted the sponge myself, and honestly, it was pretty damn good even by human standard. My little helpers/taste testers, Maya and Crumpet, certainly agreed too! Although I must admit, being a bit of a perfectionist, there is definitely some room for improvement with my mashed potato frosting.

My first ever dog cake was for a very special lady, Sparrow, of Cerberus Dog Training. She turned the grand old age of 13 recently, and I was honoured to provide her with a cake! Judging by the videos I was sent, I think Sparrow was honoured to receive said cake too!!

My second cake was for my neighbour’s dog, Hettie, on her first birthday. Although I wasn’t able to make it to her party (yes, she had an entire dog party!!), I was told that the cake was very highly rated by all the dogs and they quite literally wolfed down their slices.

Anyway, I would love to bake more cakes for dogs and really perfect my technique, however my wee Maya has been told she needs to lose half a kilo by the vet, so if you’re looking for a delicious birthday treat for your dog, please let me know and I’ll see what I can rustle up!
