Celebrate a dog’s birthday with a dog’s birthday cake!
A well-fenced backyard is a great place to hold a dog birthday party. Invite a few well-behaved doggie friends over. You can send out invitations ahead of time! Make sure you have plenty of water in non-skid dog bowls, and plenty of poop bags within easy reach (these are available in bright colors to blend in with the party theme!
Just make sure to remove any items that could be dangerous or broken. It’s always a good idea to let your neighbors know you will be hosting a dog party, and to invite them if they have a dog!
This is an easy dog treat recipe to follow. The array of colors comes from jimmies or sprinkles that are added to the cake mix. The amount needed to achieve this effect is small, so you are not adding a lot of extra sugar. Sugar-free sprinkles in vibrant colors are difficult to find.
