It's a BIG DAY here in the Starving Chef's household! That's right, Luna turned ONE today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOONEY LUNA!
Who doesn't throw their puppy a birthday party? After doing a cake smash for my nephew's first birthday, I knew the tradition had to extend to my own puppy-child.
Her birthday cake was made from all natural and organic ingredients - no added sugar and low fat too. While Luna's stomach is iron clad (as evidenced by her ability to eat ten pizza rolls in one sitting, with no remorse), keep in mind your pup might need their recipe tweaked for their specific diet. However, this puppy cake is made to be as friendly on the tummy as possible - pumpkin even helps with digestion!
The icing is sugar-free too - made with natural peanut butter, plain Greek yogurt and a little cream cheese to help hold it all together.
While she was at first apprehensive of the delicious feast in front of her - normally mommy and daddy yell at her when she tries to sneak a taste of people food - she quickly figured out this cake was in fact for her! The icing was definitely her favorite part.
Even Theo got to share in on the cake eating - and I may have had a taste or two myself. The cake is made with people-friendly ingredients too, it just probably isn't as sweet as you'd expect a cake to be. But that's okay - it's for the dogs anyways!
