Yesterday I shared my puppy’s first birthday party and promised you I’d share this easy dog birthday cake recipe. I didn’t taste it {smile} but I can swear to you it was a huge success … Molly was trying to get it the minute it came out of the oven! She had no doubt in her mind that this cake was for her! It was the perfect centerpiece at our party and a welcome treat for the pups being celebrated.
Once baked, the cake can be embellished or personalized any way you like. I cut a number one {to celebrate a first birthday} out of a cheese slice but you could also cut out the dog’s name or a cute shape like a bone or a puppy shape.
