Meet Frank.
Frank is my dog/child. A furry, black, stinky child but a child nevertheless. So when it came around to his first birthday naturally I wanted to make him a cake to celebrate.
I scoured the internet looking for recipes that were dog friendly, meat free (making a cake of meat did not appeal) and not too unhealthy and came across the fabulous Dog Treat Recipe Exchange (http://www.dog-treat-recipe-exchange.com/). This site is stuffed full of dog treat recipes and there’s a whole page devoted to doggy birthday cakes. I made a version of their Peanut Butter Delight cake as Frank is mad about peanut butter.
