Anybody that knows me well understands that I have a serious aversion to cooking. If I don’t cook for myself, then I’m definitely not going to cook for my dogs. So when I was approached about doing a product review of PuppyCake Dog Cake mix, I was a bit hesitant. I checked out the company’s website (http://www.puppycake.com) and felt somewhat reassured by the assurances that the product was simple to use.
The peanut butter flavored cake mix arrived in the mail a few days before my youngest dog’s third birthday. I decided that this was the perfect time to try the product and spoil my dogs at the same time. I read the instructions on the box, and decided that they sounded fairly simple. The only additional ingredients required were an egg, a bit of oil and some water. Okay, I could manage this. I dug out the cupcake pan and set to work.
As soon as I started mixing up the cupcake batter, the dogs raced into the kitchen and crowded around my feet, praying to the kitchen gods that something would fall from the sky. Since this was for the dogs, I let them lick out the bowl once the batter was in the cupcake pan (FYI, my regular sized cupcake pan made 5 cupcakes with the ingredients supplied). They loved every second of it! The whole house smelled like peanut butter, making me drool almost as much as the dogs.
After the cupcakes baked and cooled, I mixed up the frosting (included) and iced the cupcakes. Then I unleashed the hounds on the goodies – one full cupcake for each dog, plus two cupcakes for their doggy friends. The dogs loved the cupcakes – my old dog ate his without really chewing, all in one piece. My two younger dogs spent hours trying to get every last crumb out of their ears, not wanting to waste anything. Their two doggy friends had the same reaction as my guys did, savoring every last bite.
The PuppyCakes were very easy to mix and bake, even for a non-baker like myself. They were well worth the minimal amount of effort, since the dogs enjoyed them so much. A person could easily get more cupcakes out of the mix by not filling each cupcake cup full. I would most definitely recommend this product to friends, and am interested in making them again. The PuppyCake website includes a list of distributors throughout the US and Canada, making this product readily available in North America, So go ahead, spoil those dogs – they’re worth it!
