🎉 A Dog Birthday Idea That’s Actually Easy
At Summit Dog Chews, we’re all about celebrating dogs naturally—no weird fillers, no synthetic junk, and definitely no plastic "treats" that smell like chemicals.
So when it came to creating a dog-friendly cupcake, we kept it simple and nutritious. You probably already have the ingredients in your kitchen.
🧁 Easy Pupcake Recipe (with Mashed Potato Frosting!)
Ingredients:
-
Eggs – 1 per cupcake
-
Instant mashed potatoes – unsalted, plain
-
Carrots – for the sprinkles
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a muffin tin.
-
Crack 1 egg into each muffin slot (no need to whisk).
-
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the eggs are firm and fully cooked. Let cool.
-
While they cool, prepare mashed potatoes—make them thicker than usual so you can pipe them like frosting.
-
Grate a carrot or dice finely for the "sprinkles." Alternatively you can cut them as shown below to make little hearts to put on top.
-
Pipe mashed potatoes on top of each egg cup, sprinkle with carrots, and serve once cool!
Bonus tip: Want to add some crunch to your pup’s big day? Pair the pupcake with a Split Elk Antler for a birthday gift that lasts.
