Birthday Cake for Dogs – homemade chicken cake for your pup’s birthday! With sweet potato frosting!
My favorite child turned 5 recently.
So I made her a cake of chicken and hot dogs!
That’s normal, right?
You guys get me.
So yeah, we had a party complete with hats for all the dogs and humans. And then all the dogs had cake and all the humans refused to eat the cake.
Fun times.
Birthday Cake for dogs!
So the thing about baking for dogs is that they really don’t care how it tastes.
My dogs will literally eat anything.
Anything.
But, you know, there’s still a part of me that wants them to like it. As if they’re going to tell me how much they enjoy the cake.
But anyway, for this birthday cake for dogs, I used a pound of lean ground chicken and mixed in some sliced hot dogs and an egg. For the frosting, I just cooked and mashed some sweet potatoes.
If you’ve got a pup birthday coming up soon, you should definitely make this cake!
(I’m joking about the whole favorite child thing. Kind of.)
