We are always looking at ways to celebrate the big milestones in our dogs’ lives. So, our dogs always get special cakes for their birthdays or adoption anniversaries. We like to recreate favorite goodies to make it more suitable for our dogs. This carrot cake is no exception.
What’s great about this cupcake is that it’s easy to make and you can share it as well (well without the treat crumbles). The only real difference is that this will have a lot less sugar than what you are probably use to. But it’s still tasty, so no one will judge you if you want to lick the bowl.
You can decorate these carrot cake cupcakes however you like, but we like to crumble up dog treats on top.

Notes
Just remember that you shouldn’t be feeding your dog carrot cake all the time. You must be strong and resist the puppy dog eyes that they will give you. You don’t want to end up with a chubby puppy. It’s easy to overfeed them though as they are such good boys and girls and deserve lots of treats. Maybe take them for an extra walk to something to compensate.
And if you want to take your baking up a notch, give our mousse jelly cake a try.
