Birthday Cake For a Dog and Cupcakes For You


Meet Pence. He is my daughter's dog. He was sold to her as a Beagle/Border Collie Cross. This is a picture of him when he was six months old. He definitely has some other breed in him as he is HUGE now. Most people guess it is Great Dane. What do you think?
Whatever breed he is - it is a good mix. He is such a good dog. My daughter has trained him to do all sorts of tricks - SIT, DOWN, ROLL OVER, BANG (he falls down like he is dead), SPIN, CRAWL, STAY and HIGH FIVE. This dog does not bark. To go outside he rings a bell. When he wants to get up, he yawns - trying to wake my daughter up politely. He is so cute. I just love this guy to pieces. 

He celebrated his first birthday last week. I suggested to my daughter that she make him a cake. This is what she did: 


Ingredients:  a can of dog food and some dog biscuits. My daughter reformed the dog food in an individual sized pot pie plate and plopped it on to another plate, then she put dog biscuits around the base. A simple special cake for the birthday boy - and boy did he love it!


Then I made cupcakes for the humans in the house, and topped them with doggie biscuits, or I should say, gingerbread cookies shaped into dog biscuits. Get the gingerbread cookie recipe I use by clicking

    You're puppy is TOO CUTE! We just celebrated our dog's first birthday and he got an ice cream cone! We're coming up on the first anniversary of us adopting him, so he might need a cute doggy cake, and we FOR SURE need those cupcakes!

    Here's my baby! I'm a proud mommy! http://kristina-zufall.blogspot.com/2011/04/until-cows-come-home.html

    Pence is a really handsome and regal looking boy- and smart too! It kills me that he rings a bell when he wants to go out. I think Great Dane is a good guess for the other part of Pence- his paws look like my neighbors' Great Dane's paws.
