Birthday Cake For Dog Recipe

A dog cake recipe to celebrate Dozer’s birthday!! A 2 layer cake frosted with fluffy “buttercream” ….. but it’s made with wholesome pooch friendly ingredients!

“That frosting tastes a bit odd, ” grumbled the husband of Dozer’s boarder. Can you just imagine the pleasure she got out of telling him he’d just eaten a DOG cake??😂

How

“Serves him right for helping himself to anything that looks tasty” she smirked when she told me. I was laughing so hard at the vision, I actually snorted.

Who can blame him?? The whole point of creating this cake was to make it look like a real birthday cake piled high with fluffy buttercream frosting – but with dog friendly ingredients.

OK OK I know you’re busting to know how I made the cake look so “real” so I won’t keep you in suspense any longer! Here’s the rundown:

This is a healthy dog friendly version of carrot cake. It’s a moist sponge that’s very simple to make – dump and mix job – and all the ingredients are either good for dogs, or fine for dogs to eat in moderation. I’ve provided some nutrition commentary on each ingredient in the recipe below.

Pebbles' Meatloaf Style Birthday Cake For Dogs [recipe]

Made withfluffy whipped mashed potato! OK, so it’s not something you’d put on a cake for humans – but this is fordogs remember!

I wanted a frosting that was dog friendly that looked just like vanilla buttercream so I could use it for sandwiching layers, frosting and piping. Most dog cake frosting recipes I found use yogurt and peanut butter which is too soft and also, too much of either of those ingredients is not good for dogs.

Solution: whipped mashed potato!! 🤣 I got the idea from Meatloaf Cupcakes that I shared years ago where I piped on mashed potato swirls.

I use yogurt to give it a creamy soft “buttercream frosting” consistency because yogurt has probiotics in it which is good for dogs. But water works just as well!

A cake this good (and big 😳) is made to be shared. And what better way to share it than at an impromptu birthday party down at the beach??

It was, as one might expect, total chaos, and my vision of an adorable photo of all the dogs wearing party hats sitting patiently behind the cake just didn’t happen. (That was total wishful thinking on my part 😂)

Hats were swiped off within seconds of putting them on – hence why you only see photos of 1 dog at a time wearing a hat 😂, the swarm of wet, sandy golden retrievers around the cake was such a hazard at one point I actually had to pick the cake up and run away!

But suffice to say, it was his idea of a perfect birthday. Beach, all his best mates, a big fat cake. What more can a dog ask for??

Happy birthday Dozer! 🎊🎉Another year older, though not wiser. But I wouldn’t change a thing about you – I love you just the way you are!

Easy Homemade Dog Birthday Cake

Recipe video above. A dog cake with frosting that looks so impossibly real, it's been mistakenly eaten by unsuspecting people on many occasions! Made with dog friendly ingredients with an irresistible peanut butter smell. Fine for humans to consume - but it's a bit odd tasting for our palette!

Pumpkin

1. Cake pan - could also use a bundt pan or one cake pan and cut the cake in half. Or a square pan about 20cm/8.

2. Serving size - Appropriate serving size should be determined having regard to the health, size, activeness and digestive sensitivities of your dog. Dozer was fine even eating a very large slice (almost 1/8th of the cake!). But he is a highly active dog and has a broad diet, he eats many things I make and tastes almost everything I eat myself!

Dog Friendly Birthday Cake

Do not use in place of a meal - just like with human cakes, dog cakes are not a well rounded nutritious meal!
