Time really flies. No really, it does! It seems to go faster and faster every year! Last time I featured dog treat cupcakes on my blog was for my beloved dog Versailles. My newest pup, Sienna just turned one, and I decided to bake her some cupcakes.
Her sister Stasia, and brother Dallas also enjoyed these treats. They are super easy to make, and contain zero calories (for the owner). Believe me you do not not want to eat these! The ingredients are all human grade, but they do not contain any sugar which is obviously bad for puppies.
The frosting is the most important element. I like this icing, because you can actually pipe it, which is not very common for dog icing.
Sienna had a very special first birthday. The cupcakes were definitely the highlight of her birthday!

Your puppy is adorable! What a lucky girl, to get such pretty cupcakes on her birthday. I am going to make these for my black lab, Sammy.
These look good enough to eat. I have never made homemade treats for my dogs, but I may have to start.
I can't wait to make these for my dog, Rocco! They are so cute. I love the little bones too! :)
Too Cute!
The bows are awesome! Where did you get them?
Hi Whitney,
I am so sorry for the delayed response! I found them at Target in the holiday section around Easter time. I thought they were to fabulous to pass up. I have not seen them at any other store, but Wilton does make similar icing bows.

These are too precious, and so is your dog!
