Dog Birthday Cake Made In Foil Bone Shaped Pan

A dog birthday cake is an easy order from the folks at Black Pearl Bakery, an online Etsy shop. 

They simply used one of K9Cakery's reusable foil bone shaped cake pans. Look how perfect this dog cake came out!

The birthday cake for dogs can be easily packaged in the aluminum pan that comes with its own matching lid. Makes it easy to ship or wrap. And then, the recipient gets a second dog gift as well! The foil cake pan can be reused to make more dog birthday cakes!

These bone shaped pans are on sale at a very, very low price, which, we might add, makes for a third gift included!

Mini Dog Cupcakes

An entire video showing how to make mini dog cupcakes was featured in the post from 9/17/12. So today I thought I would show you an example of the finished products and what they could look like. Keep in mind that these cupcakes are for dogs! They are so beautiful you want to eat them yourself.

using Fido's Frosting

These cupcakes for dogs were made by the Munchie Munch Shoppe gourmet pet bakery. Fido's Frosting, which is an all natural yogurt dog treat frosting, was used for the topping and was piped in a swirling fashion. This baker chose to keep the frosting its natural color, and the cupcakes are mouth-watering. The little white bone shaped sprinkles complete the presentation and make a statement that these are dog treats!

Fido's Frosting will dry hard and will not melt. It does not require refrigeration. So this pet bakery can ship their decorated dog treats anywhere, even to a hot desert, without worry that all that work will be destroyed through melting.

The frosting comes in various flavors including peanut butter and chocolatey carob. You can add different flavorings to it as well.

You can find more decorated dog treats at K9Cakery on Facebook. Our friends love to show off their beautiful creations. And if you would like to find a dog bakery in your neighborhood, you can do that too. Just ask!

Make Dog Cupcakes For A Dog Party

Dog cupcakes are all the rage, especially with the popularity of their human counterparts.

Benefits of making cupcakes for dogs include that you are making smaller dog treats to help resist your temptation to give your dog more than he should really have. Of course he will keep asking for another piece, and please just one more bite...but do not listen!

Mini cupcakes are perfect fare for any dog party. Each dog gets his own individual treat, and the display of the finished treats is just right for a party atmosphere.


The quickest and easiest way to make mini cupcakes is with the All Natural Cake Kit for Dogs manufactured by K9Cakery.com. Watch as Frosting Fran goes through the entire process of opening the box and making the cakes. 

A package of dog cake mix and dog treat frosting is included. It is so easy, the kids can do it. This cake kit also makes the perfect gift for dog lovers.

Gluten Free Dog Treats

Does your dog need to eat gluten free dog treats?

First of all, what exactly is gluten? Gluten is a protein found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye. 

Humans who suffer from an intestinal illness called celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten which causes inflammation in the small intestines of these sufferers.

Irish Setters are one dog breed prone to celiac disease.

Some dogs are grain sensitive. Dogs were originally carnivores, but due to the economics of making dog food, grains were introduced to keep the costs down and many low cost dog food is primarily made from grains. 

Grain allergies are common in dogs. If your dog is scratching a lot, have him evaluated first by your vet before you diagnose him yourself! There are many reasons why a dog could be scratching.

If your dog does require a gluten free diet and has grain allergies, instead of trying to figure out what is and is not healthy for him, you can use this dog cake mix from K9Cakery.com:


gluten free dog treats

Eggs, fresh fish, meat and chicken, cheese, fruits and vegetables are all gluten-free. 

Gluten-free flours include rice flour, potato flour, corn flour, soy flour, and a myriad of flours from lesser-known grains.
