Time flies when you’re having fun. On your dog’s birthday, doesn’t it always seem like you’ve blinked and another year has gone by?

This year my dog Toby turns four, and I’m bound and determined to make him a dog birthday cake. I’ve been saying that forever, but this is going to be the year it happens, I swear!

To prepare, I scoured Pinterest looking for the best recipes. There are many out there, but these 9 were the best of the best.

Found at Love from the Oven

How awesome is the name of this dog birthday cake? If your dog is getting a homemade birthday cake, they are most definitely spoiled. But that is what we love about being a dog parent.

8. Mini Dog Birthday Cake

10 Best Dog Birthday Cake Recipes

Found at The Almond Eater 

This dog cake includes lots of things you’d expect – peanut butter, applesauce, honey, etc. – but what we love about it is the special ingredient on top: shredded cheese. That’s right, shredded cheddar is used as a decoration on top. This is the stuff dogs dream of.

9. Homemade Doggie Cake

10 Best Dog Birthday Cake Recipes

Found at The Cozy Cook

When I first found out the number of calories in (human) carrot cake, I was shocked. After all, weren’t carrots supposed to be healthy? They are, but all the butter and sugar negated the health benefits. Lucky for us, this dog birthday cake feature lots of the healthy orange vegetable and none of the naughty ingredients.

You might catch some flack for making a birthday cake for your dog, but don’t let that deter you. After all, pups are like children to us pup parents, and you’ve got to celebrate the birthday of your furbaby!
