This gorgeous cake was made by My Doggy Delights based in Hollywood, Florida.

The fire hydrant cake pan is available from K9Cakery.com. It also makes a great cake for humans - of any age - who either wants to be a firefighter or is one already. Perfect for a fireman birthday party!

We have heard from customers that they have used this cake pan for grooms' cakes as well as birthday cakes.

The cake pan is made from "space age" plastic and can be used in the oven or microwave.

Dog Treat Business Ideas For Finding Customers

Looking for new dog treat business ideas of where to sell your treats for dogs? Best place for small dog bakeries to start is in your own neighborhood.

More and more small businesses that cater to dog owners are coming onto the scene. There are two main factors for this: the pet business has proven itself to be recession proof, and over half of U.S. families own dogs.

Fido's Frosting

As a small dog treat baker, you have a product that these businesses don't have time to make: homemade dog treats! Fresh treats always smell delicious. 

Some examples of local dog businesses to partner with include:

• Dog groomers
• Dog trainers
• Pet hotels and spas
• Dog daycare facilities
• Boarding facilities
• Veterinarians
• Pet stores
• Dog rescue organizations 
• Petsitters

What to do:

• Make up a batch of your most amazing dog treats and arrange them as a gorgeous display on a tray, plate, box, etc. You are going to show these off!
• Place more treats in a box or bag tied up with a nice ribbon - make sure you have a label with your contact information on it. You are going to leave these as a gift.
• Make a list of all the dog businesses close by that you can visit. You want to concentrate on those that you can easily access. Walk down down the busiest street in town and you will probably come across quite a few.
• Find out when the owner or someone in charge will be available. You can happen to be walking by with your treats (when customers are present so they can see your treats too!)
• You want to build a relationship with the business. Think of how their business would be a more amazing place if they featured your treats. How can they show off their services better than their competitors? For example, a retail store, a daycare or boarding facility, a vet - could feature you and your fresh treats. Ask if you can set up a table. Offer to advertise your presence while advertising their business to help bring in traffic.  
• Find pet sitters and groomers who want to offer treats as a thank you gift. Offer to make up treats in nice packages. You would then put your business name along with theirs on the package. 
• Offer to bake a dog birthday cake for loyal customers. (The business would pay you for the cake of course.)

For this type of marketing, you want to find small businesses that make their own decisions. As a small business, you can be creative with your efforts and try new ideas. Corporations do not have this flexibility. 

The idea is to help these small businesses stand out in the minds of their customers. Help them to offer a service that the big stores cannot. This is your mission, should you decide to accept it!

Show Off Your Dog Business With A Large Dog Cake

Looking for a unique way to show off your dog business? Hold a grand opening, an open house, or celebrate your dog business' anniversary or birthday and serve a beautifully decorated large dog cake like this one from the Coastal K-9 Bakery in Wilmington, NC.

This cake was decorated with Fido's Frosting dog treat icing. "Fido's Frosting is great to work with. I LOVE it. See how pretty it looks. "

A large dog cake is the perfect compliment for a grand opening of a dog business where dogs are invited, for a graduation party from obedience class (where of course everyone will be sitting and waiting to eat their cake when told to), or for a birthday party with a lot of doggie guests.

This silicone cake pan makes baking easy and grease free. All the greasing that is necessary for a metal pan is not needed, which not only cuts down on effort, but can save some calories as well. 

Dog lovers even make ice sculptures in the shape of a bone to decorate their grand opening celebrations, which is a novel idea. Make a cake for the human guests as well. It will be "different", and your event will be talked about. 

As Marie Antoinette almost said, "Let them eat dog cake."

Yogurt Icing For Dogs Dries Hard And Does Not Melt

The best dog treat icing is the award-winning Fido's Frosting brand. The dog icing is made with all natural yogurt and all human grade ingredients. It is sugar free and made in the USA.

And the best feature? It dries hard and will not melt, even in hot environments like Arizona deserts! You can put a hot flame over it and it will not even begin to droop, which makes it a perfect yogurt frosting if you plan to ship dog cakes or decorated dog treats to friends or customers.

Take a look at this beautiful homemade dog birthday cake made by a pet parent named Kendall:

Dog Birthday Cake With Fido's Frosting

It was Mozart's first birthday and Kendall decorated his cake with Fido's Frosting. It is very easy to use. Just add the specified amount of water and stir. You can pipe decorations just like you see in the photo with this yogurt frosting. 

See how it dries with a smooth finish? You do not have to be a professional baker to produce a gorgeous cake! Fido's Frosting was created specifically to make the dog cake decorating process quick and easy.

Finally, this dog cake frosting does not require refrigeration, unlike frosting made by melting yogurt chips.

Go into your favorite pet store and tell them about Fido's Frosting, manufactured by K9Cakery.com.
