How cute does Marley look in his birthday hat?Pets are an increasingly important part of the family, and giving them a party is a fun way to celebrate one of our least-complicated relationships.
A simple, quick and easy way to make a dog birthday cake is to open a can of their favorite food. Then slide the contents out in one piece and put it on a plate. Now cover with bacon strips and maybe a few small biscuits treats around...Voila, one very simple doggie cake!
You can also make an even yummier dog birthday cake by exerting a tad more effort:
Doggy Layer Cake
Ingredients: 3 cups flour, 1 T. baking powder, 1/2 cup margarine-softened, 6 eggs-beaten, 1/2 cup corn oil, 2 jars strained chicken baby food, 2 cups finely shredded carrots, plain or vanilla yogurt, 2 or 3 strips of bacon-fried crisp, crumbled, or bacon-flavored jerky strips, cut into bits.
Preheat oven 325F
Generously grease and flour two 8" round cake pans. In a mixing bowl, beat softened margarine until smooth. Add eggs and corn oil, mix well. Add strained chicken and shredded carrots, mix until smooth. Add flour and baking powder and mix thoroughly, (mix should resemble light batter). Pour batter into the 2 prepared 8" cake pans. Bake for approximately 1 hour. Let the dog birthday cake cool for a few minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
Icing the cake: Place one layer on a serving plate and spread yogurt over top. Then add a second layer and repeat for each layer. Spread yogurt on top and sides of entire cake and sprinkle crumbled bacon or bits of jerky strips over top. Why not use "Pupperoni" sticks for candles.
