If you want to make any dog party a success, then a tasty cake for the birthday boy or girl is a must!

And now for the very best of the dog birthday products (at least your dog might think so!) - the birthday cake.

You can`t just whip up a chocolate spongecake and give it to Fifi (click here to learn what foods are poisonous to dogs, and here to find out why chocolate is so dangerous for your pet), but I`ve found some wonderful cake mixes that have been specifically designed for our canine companions.

There are also doggie-themed cake pans, cookie cutters, recipe books, edible birthday cards and more.

Dog Birthday Cakes - Recipes & Ingredients

There are two ways to approach preparing a birthday cake for yourpooch. Most regular `human` cake recipes are not entirely suitable fordogs but can be used if they`re modified to omit any dangerous or toxicingredients.

For example, you can follow a traditional cake recipe but substitute wheat flour for the regular white flour, and make sure no chocolate or nuts are used.

Carobproducts are a dog-safe alternative to chocolate. You can also addmashed bananas for a little extra flavor if you`d like to.

Thetraditional sugar frosting isn`t a good idea, but on dog birthday cakesthere are several other options you can try. Good frosting alternativesinclude

• Peanut Butter (organic is best)
• Cream Cheese
• Cottage Cheese

Youcan decorate your dog`s birthday cake with tiny dog bone biscuits, dogyogurt drops or something similar. If you don`t want to use propercandles, `Pupperoni` sticks make a great, edible alternative.

Youcan also make a super-easy, totally dog-friendly cake by following therecipe below. Just be warned that the two-legged guests (humans!) won`tappreciate it and you may also want to include a more traditional cakefor them to share!

The Burger Birthday Cake

• 1lb ground minced beef
• 2 medium sized carrots
• 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2lb cooked collard greens
• 6 strips bacon, cooked
• 1/2 cup grated cheese

Mix all the ingredients (except the bacon and cheese) together in a large bowl. Divide mixture into two.

Put1/2 of the mix into a greased, lined 9" cake pan and spread out evenly.Arrange the bacon strips on top of this layer and sprinkle with thegrated cheese.

Top with the second half of the mixture and spread out evenly.

Bakeat 350F (180C) for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until cookedthrough. Pour off any excess fat and allow to cool before removing fromthe pan.

This cake can be frosted with any of the above frosting and decorated in the same way.
