I've always wanted to make doggy cakes but never really got round to it.
A majority of the time i found all of these doggy cake recipes either had a tonne of ingredients or i simply couldn't find half of the ingredients.
 This year my Mum&I are going to be making doggy cake's for Lily&Lacey's Birthday.
(I'm so excited, HA HA)

I have been searching online for recipes and found a great recipe for beef&bacon pup cakes.
I have also posted some frosting recipes down below too.
I really wanted to find a bone shaped tin but i couldn't find one so they are going to have muffin pupcakes instead.

I've decided to use cream cheese frosting and will decorate the top with some 'bacon sprinkles'

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2/3 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 jar of strained beef baby food
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup bacon bits

Directions:

• Stir flour and baking powder together in a mixing bowl.
• Cream together the butter, oil, baby food and eggs.
• Mix the dry ingredients with the wet mix, and then stir in the bacon bits.
• Pour into a greased and floured 8" x 8" baking pan.
• If desired, sprinkle a light layer of bacon bits on top as a frosting substitute.
• Bake in a 350 degree F oven for approximately 35-40 minutes or until the center of the cake springs back when lightly poked. Oven times may vary.

Frosting Ideas:

• Cream cheese: Well whipped cream cheese is quite spreadable and tasty too. Just be sure to refrigerate the cake when you're finished decorating.
• Plain yogurt: Yogurt makes a healthy cake topping, and the plain variety compliments just about any cake flavor. Due to its consistency, yogurt is best used on a birthday cake you plan to leave in the pan. Again, be sure to refrigerate.
• Peanut butter: Most dogs love peanut butter, and the creamy consistency makes this a natural choice for a frosting substitute. Just be certain your dog doesn't have any kind of peanut allergy before you give it a try. You can also blend a little peanut butter into cream cheese for added flavor and color.
  
  
  I will upload picture's once the pup cakes have been made.
