This dog birthday cake is super fun to make. I made this for my dog, and she ate it all up. The honey is optional, but it makes the cake a sweeter treat for the dog. And yes, I tried some — it's pretty good.

This recipe is great! It was my youngest dog’s first birthday. Made while we were at camp, didn’t have peanut butter so used pumpkin instead. Baked for 30 minutes. Decorated with Cookie Pal treats. Needless to say my dogs went nuts over them

Second year making these “pup-cakes”. We combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup peanut butter for frosting. No complaints from the pups, they gobble them down every time. We make them in mini-muffin sizes as are dogs are small. Adjusted the bake time to 20 minutes for the smaller size.

My dog loved this cake!! We substituted the frosting for Greek yogurt and peanut butter and she loved that. I would suggest checking the cake before 40 minutes, it was pretty crispy at 40 for us but still turned out great!
