Diet Birthday Cake for Dogs

Do you know when is your dog’s birthday? If you don’t know, that’s ok. You can make one up. =) How about today? It looks like a nice weather here in Singapore, just staying home to bake cake and hold dog party.

To be perfectly honest with you, today is our 100th post entries/articles. So what better way to celebrate it other than a cake?

Moreover, I could use a break and as for my dogs and my neighbors’ dogs certainly won’t mind an impromptu party either; especially with this diet birthday cake for dogs. You can never feel too guilty to pamper them more.

Today we are going to attempt something challenging yet rewarding dog food recipe. First, this recipe is meant to serve 20 to 25 small to medium sized dogs, assuming each dog gets one tiny portion of the cake. Since I usually serve a variety of goodies during parties, therefore I limit them to tiny portion. So if you don’t see yourself catering to too many dogs or many variaties, then feel free to alter the measure of the ingredients. The end result shouldn’t deter at all if you follow the methods listed.

Don’t forget to wear those doggy party hats to make this occasion much more enjoyable.
