Guess what we’re doing today? It’s somebody’s birthday! Miss Kira turned seven on March 13th, so I headed into the kitchen to make her a pretty pink princess apple-and-honey birthday cake… because apples are absolutely her favorite. In this video, I walk you through the whole DIY dog cake from start to finish—preheating the oven to 350, mixing the dry ingredients (including “floof powder,” a.k.a. baking soda), and then doing the “whiskey business” to get everything whisked together. We mix up the wet ingredients with a farm fresh egg, coconut cooking oil (olive oil works too), optional vanilla, xylitol-free peanut butter, Michigan honey (because we from Michigan), and a full cup of shredded apples. Then I bake the batter in mini 4-inch pans, do the toothpick test, cool everything, and stack it into a cute two-tier cake. For frosting, I use whipped cream cheese and tint it pink for that fairy-princess look. And yes… Kira totally tried to take an “illegal” first bite while I was trying to get a thumbnail. Reminder though: this is a treat, not a meal replacement—small slices only, even on birthdays!
