Colored sesame seeds complete the all natural decoration. Buy the colored sesame seeds or with a little bit of effort, color them yourself. Use then just as you would sprinkles or jimmies on other treats for dogs to keep the sugar content at a minimum.

Fido's Frosting royal icing is perfect for flooding an area with color as seen in the stars and the bell above. Or just drizzle green and red dog treat icing for an interesting "painted" effect, as seen in the image below.

Unique Christmas Gifts For Dogs

Have you been looking for unique Christmas gifts for dogs? Perhaps something different than a leash, a collar, a dog bowl, or squeaky toy? 

One of the most original dog gifts we came across is a gorgeous handmade dog-safe edible Christmas tree made from stacked dog cookies, by the dog bakery, Treats By The Pawful, based in Minooka, Illinois.

Christmas Cookie Tree For Dogs
handmade by Treats By The Pawful

This dog cookie tree is truly a one-of-a-kind gift. Each star-shaped dog cookie is individually crafted to get just the right size to create the shape of a Christmas tree standing tall. Fido's Frosting brand Royal Icing for Dogs is used to cover the arms of the stars to create the effect of snow on the tree branches. Colored sesame seeds are sprinkled onto the icing to look like tree decorations. Each star is then stacked and "glued" with the icing. The final product is all natural and edible!

Dog lovers enjoy receiving gifts for their pets. Their pets are very special to them. A handmade gift like this to remember the dog at Christmas time is a very special and thoughtful one as well as being absolutely original.

Wouldn't this cookie tree make a beautiful table centerpiece? It would certainly be a topic of conversation because many people do not realize that there are actual bakeries that make cookies and cakes just for dogs using dog-safe ingredients. 

The yogurt dog treat icing is sugar free so even though it looks enticing, the human palate would not enjoy it. So, no need to worry that anyone would eat the dog's present.

Just be sure to video the dog enjoying his gift for a wonderful Christmas memory.  

Decorated Dog Treats With Colored Sesame Seeds

Make decorated dog treats using colored sesame seeds for an all natural dog treat which cuts down on the amount of sugar in the finished product. 

My blog post Decorated Dog Treats With Colored Sesame Seeds was dedicated to the concerns that abound regarding red food coloring. Read the post for an in depth discussion. In summary, there is no conclusive scientific evidence that it is harmful for dogs. 

Red is the perfect color for the winter holidays. And red colored treats are attractive as these "pupcakes" from Lazybones Pet Treats show:

Sesame seeds were soaked in red food coloring, which they take very well, and then sprinkled on top of the dog treat frosting. These dog cupcakes were made from the All Natural Cupcake Kit for Dogs manufactured by K9Cakery which includes both cake mix and yogurt frosting mix. It yields 12 mini dog cupcakes.

Your eye can't help but be drawn to these cupcakes. The sesame seed decorations will set into the sugar free frosting which dries hard and smooth and needs no refrigeration. What a lovely treat to bring when visiting friends with dogs over the holidays.

Many bakers of dog cakes prefer to use sesame seeds as decoration because they are all natural. 

Color your own or purchase sesame seeds already colored in various colors and other bakery supplies for dog treats through K9Cakery.
