![]() ![]() Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before decorating and serving.Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.Add small amounts of water until the mixture is a cake batter consistency.Combine with the flour and cinnamon (if using), and mix until incorporated.Beat the egg and mix in the pumpkin and peanut butter.Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.You can add a dash of cinnamon to the batter if you like, but do not use pumpkin pie spice because nutmeg is toxic to dogs. Pumpkin is a natural source of fiber that can promote a healthy digestive tract, plus it makes this cake a great orange color.īe sure to use only plain pumpkin puree canned is fine if it doesn't contain any additives like sugar or spices. The hardest part for me was getting the face right (which of course I didn’t get exactly right only Ally can do that!!) Needless to say she was VERY surprised to see her creation in cake form! She still talks about that cake to this day!! And she still draws Trix comics! (She’s hoping to one day be a cartoonist/animator.Even though pumpkin is traditionally a fall food, you can use it in a dog cake any time of year. I placed them on a sheet cake iced smooth (of course). I used the 3D ball cake pan for the body and two mini balls for her feet (with about 1/3 cut from each mini ball). So for her 14th birthday I decide to try my hand at 3D Trix (the cake is similar to a cat birthday cake). Ally has drawn many comic strips with Trix and other characters she’s created but Trix has always been her favorite. Trix is a ball shaped creature (called a BIP (Beautiful Intelligent Pet) with some characteristics of a cat (but is NOT a cat). She is a cartoon character that my daughter Ally created herself. In order to finish it off, I used jelly beans for the eyes and Twizzlers for the bow. I used homemade butter cream and mixed it to the colors of my choice.Įight pounds of confectioner’s sugar later and a numb hand later I was done. You make a couple of round cake pans and cut them to make the parts of cat and glue them together with icing. ![]() ![]() I bought food coloring especially for frosting in order to get the colors right. I cut the ears and the face pieces out of that while it was still frozen and secured it with icing. Then, I used red licorice for the whiskers and junior mints for the eyes. For the 3-D effect I made an extra cake and froze it. I made two round cakes and layered them with a filling and dyed the frosting to match. There were no directions on how to make it so I improvised. I found a picture online of a cat birthday cake that I liked and my daughter loved it. This was very easy and fun to make! Pink and Purrr-fect Homemade Cake (I wanted them to be white or green eyes but my daughter insisted on pink.) I used black and purple icing gel for all other details on the cat. The eyes are Jordan Almonds with a dab of black icing gel. I used a chocolate cake mix and made a white chocolate buttercream frosting which I tinted slightly pink with red food coloring. I found a link to a recipe for Halloween Black Cat Cake on the Betty Crocker website which includes an easy template for cutting and assembling the cake from two round cake layers. My four year-old daughter said she wanted a pink cat birthday cake for her birthday so I came to this site for inspiration. ![]()
