Puppy Cake + Review




Happy Birthday to Ninja face! This past Saturday he turned the BIG 5! My sweet baby boy who I picked up at 11 weeks is now 5-years-old!?! I am definitely one of those dog people who are way too obsessed with their dog and is completely okay with it. So for his 5th birthday I knew I wanted to do something extra special -- a day filled with yumminess, goodies and friends.


If you are looking for cute dog toys -- I highly recommend these Kyjen or Zippy paw toys. They are toys stuffed (that do not tear easily) with little animals and Ninja loves to just pull them out. He has a tree trunk with little squirrels in it, bamboo trunk with little pandas, bee hive with bees, chicken coup with chicks and a banana with monkeys. Too cute!


As I was shopping for Ninja's presents, I kept stumbling on these Puppy Cake mixes. I bought them on Amazon. They seemed really neat and I am always a fan of, what I like to call "spoiled dog products." Plus the mixes got extremely high ratings on Amazon; a big hit with other pups. They come in many different flavors and yogurt frosting. For Ninja's birthday cake, I decided to use carob cake mix but not the frosting. The frosting did not look very good and I wanted something a little more taste appealing. So I decided to make my own frosting.


Each mix makes a 6" cake so I bought 2 mixes to make one, slightly taller 8" cake. Some disclosure -- if you are making a cake for just one dog, this will be way too much. I do not like giving Ninja too much junk food because it is not healthy and I want to avoid any stomach aches. I ended up giving some of his cake away to friends. 1 mix should be plenty. However, if you have more than one dog 2 mixes might be great. These mixes are EASY to make. Completely fail proof!



Add some oil, water and an egg and they bake perfectly. Frost it -- add some treats for decoration and voila! You got yourself one delicious pup friendly cake! Ninja LOVES it :) He gives it 5 paws up! I definitely recommend this product for your next paw-tay! ;)

  2. The cake looks amazing. I purchased my first box of doggy cake mix today and was wondering whether you used the yogurt frosting in addition to the cream cheese, honey, and pb?

    1. Hi Stacy! Oh which flavor did you choose? I did not use the yogurt frosting at all because from the pictures it didn't seem to be thick enough to frost and pipe but I could be wrong. Hope that helps! And I'm excited for your pup! :)

  3. The love for Cat names pushes their owners to try to do everything possible to keep them healthy and fit. The best pet products from the best pet supply stores are needed and a lot of research has to be done to offer the right care to those animal members of the family.

  4. Jun is quickly approaching and for most coastal regions the thought of a hurricane begins to creep into our minds. We become concerned about the safety of our homes, our teacup puppies for sale and ourselves. The important thing is to have a plan and being prepared is the first step in making that plan.
