Bark-tastic Dog Birthday Cakes

With your dog’s birthday or gotcha day just around the corner, what better way to celebrate than with a delicious homemade dog cake. It’s not only a fun way to mark the their special day, but making your own cake can be a tail-wagging alternative to store-bought treats.

One of my favorite… well more likely Abby and Maggie’s favorite is a 2 layer carrot cake with fluffy whipped potato “frosting” from Recipe Tin Eats. Yes, this “frosting” looks just like a vanilla buttercream, so make sure to give fair warning to anyone else in the house so that they don’t go sneaking a taste. While, all the ingredients are human friendly, you’ll find it tastes nothing like it looks!

While homemade cakes are always a pup favorite in our house, sometimes life gets busy. Despite my best intentions, some years I find that I don’t have the time to whip up a homemade cake for my pups. Though even in the midst of a busy schedule, I still shower them with a delicious celebration thanks to the numerous dog-friendly bakeries around the greater Milwaukee area. So if you are in need of a dog cake to make your dog’s special day truly paw-some check out…

  • Petalicious Dog Bakery in Pewaukee
  • Lucky Mutts Bakery in Oconomowoc
  • Dog Gone Great in Germantown
  • Classy Girl Cupcakes in Milwaukee

Or from the comforts of your couch, order a tail-wagging cake online from…

  • Okkra & Molly
  • The Dog Bakery

So here’s to many more years of tail wags, wet noses, and unforgettable moments celebrating your four-legged friend’s big day!

Hi, I’m Jennifer

A photographer who understands dogs—and dog people.

I believe dogs deserve to be remembered for who they truly are—the quirks, the closeness, the everyday moments. Dogs don’t stay long enough, and preserving those stories as artwork you live with is why I do this.

If your dog has opinions or selective hearing, you’re in good company here.
