PetCakes Dog Birthday Cake Kit - All Natural Treats - Puppy To Large Dogs, Carob Flavor - 5.5 Oz

Super fast and easy to make. A little mix with water, peanut butter (optional, not included), and 2 and a half minutes in the microwave is all you need to "bake". It's a microwave recipe and after a 15 min rest and yougurt icing application, you've got yourself a cute little cake! Easy to follow instructions are provided and we followed them exactly. I will say that the product picture is slightly misleading. It doesn't come with the sprinkles shown but that's not a deal breaker for me. You get a package of cake mix made of natural ingredients, a package of yogurt mix, the cake pan, a candle, and instructions. All ingredients are listed and clear. The cake pan will absolutely come in handy for more homemade treats in the future, and in my humble opinion, that's worth the price paid. Our Tippi is a 20lb beagle and a voracious eater so it was difficult to keep her from eating the whole thing in 1 sitting as recommended. She absolutely loved it though and we loved to see her dig in, memories made for sure for her 2nd birthday. I am 100% pleased with this purchase and will update my review if we come across any issues. I feel whatever happens, barring sickness of course, this was a great purchase and product. I would buy it again and def recommended it for sure. Thank you for a great item and to you for taking the time to read this.

I tried the PetCakes dog cake mix, and my pup devoured half of it before I could even snap a picture. It’s incredibly simple to make — just choose one of the three flavors, add water (and a little peanut butter if you want to make it extra special), then pop it in the microwave. It cooks fast, smells amazing, and clearly passes the taste test. Quick, easy, and dog approved.

This was really easy to make. The bone shaped mold is adorable! And reuseable, which is part of why I ordered this. I took off one star because the frosting was very runny. Which of course didn't matter at all to my dog. He loved every last bit of the cake! I suppose, I didn't have any yogurt to use for the frosting, but the instructions said you could use water instead. It might have been a little thicker had I used yogurt. But I don't think it would have been enough of a difference to actually be able to frost or decorate the cake like what they show in the picture. Think of it more like a glazed donut type of frosting than say buttercream frosting. Which, did actually make it easier, because I just poured it over the top instead of having to frost with a knife or spatula. I'm glad it fit in his food bowl! Definitely put it on a plate or in a bowl that will catch the excess frosting.

We purchased the carob flavor 'PetCakes Dog Birthday Cake Kit' for our puppy's first birthday last month and it was a hit. The kit comes with cake mix, frosting mix, and a bone-shaped mold that's microwave-safe. A quick mix poured into the greased mold is then microwaved for a couple minutes—the finished product smelled delicious enough that the humans were impressed (and our dog's nose was up in the air sniffing). Be warned, the frosting mix thickens up quickly and becomes unusable, so I wasn't the biggest fan of that portion. (I actually ended up making my own 'frosting' with a little Greek yogurt/PB/honey so that I could take more time to frost/decorate our pup's cake. It worked well!) Our dog would have happily eaten the entire thing in one sitting, but after taking some photos, we sliced the cake into thirds and gave him smaller portions over the next couple days (to avoid any potential tummy upset in our food-loving doodle). I really liked that all the cake ingredients were familiar/natural items—I felt good about giving it to our birthday boy. The kit also comes with a candle that's a thoughtful touch. Overall it was novel, cute and worth the money; you should buy it. Dogs deserve cake for their birthday, too!

Dogs loved it Easy to make Would purchase again

I bought this product for my dog's birthday. After searching Amazon for a while, I settled on this cake kit due to affordability and positive reviews. I liked that the kit included everything (including the candle). Upon opening the package, I noticed that the mold was slightly cracked, so I had to get creative and tape it up so the batter wouldn't leak out. It was easy enough to make the batter and it cooked quickly in the microwave. I will say that it smelled pretty nice. The frosting was runny, so I ended up adding a little peanut butter to thicken it up enough so I could spread it. Overall, the cake was fine for a little birthday photo shoot. My dog licked all the frosting off, but didn't even take a bite out of the actual cake.

Dog loved it!

Here’s something to consider when buying: This mix on its own is just ok. You’ll want to add some extra ingredients. It’s super simple to use and only takes 2 1/2 minutes in the microwave. It doesn’t look like you can get replacement batter anywhere to reuse the bone mold. The frosting mix alone is too runny (add in some pb). I made a peanut butter cake with maple peanut butter frosting, crushed unicorn treats, carrots and raspberry “sprinkles”. Add a tablespoon of pb into the cake mix Add a tablespoon of maple into the frosting mix instead of honey and add pb to thicken Crush Bocce Bakery Unicorn treats and press to sides of frosted cake Chop carrots and frozen raspberries* for “sprinkles” *Raspberries Are safe for dogs but should only be given in moderation. The cake after being microwaved (pictured) is a little wonky but actually smells really good. My dog loves the taste! I would definitely recommend this as it’s easy to use and easy to customize. I hope they start selling replacement mixes so I can buy again in the future without having to get another mold. Included some pics of Wrigley with his cake. Unfortunately with social distancing his cat friends could not attend the party this year but they’re having a zoom call later...
