Meaty Birthday Party Dog Cake
A Pooch's Paradise in the Form of a Hamburger Cake
You can make your own dog crackers with rice flour, oil, water and bone meal for extra nutrition. After baking, crush the crackers for filler in the party dog cake.
Your dog will love the meaty party dog cake. When you make your own dog party cake, you can be sure that there are no fillers, chemicals or substandard ingredients in your celebration. It is simple to make the crackers beforehand especially if you use two or more baking sheets at once. You need one half cup of cracker crumbs to each pound of extra lean meat.
The dog crackers will make the recipe economical, especially if you are making cupcakes or you are serving a large breed of dog/s. Double or triple all the ingredients to get the total amount necessary for your dog cake, cakes or cupcakes. One pound of meat with a 1/4 cup filler will make a little cake about four inches wide and about an inch or two in height, depending on the amount of dog crackers used.
Nutritional Filler In The Dog Cake Recipe
The nutritional dog crackers recipe is a nutritional filler for your DIY dog party cake. The bone meal and dry milk, used in the recipe, will add calcium to the cake. The Brewer's yeast will boost the dog cake with B vitamins.
One half teaspoon of bone meal is called for in the dog cracker recipe. You can replace this with a quarter teaspoon each of dry milk and brewer's yeast. For dogs on a diet, choose nonfat dry milk. You can add grated cheese to your cracker recipe for use in this recipe or for a cheese cracker dog treat.

Different Dog Party Cake Icing, Frosting And Toppings
When the meaty dog cake has finished baking, you may melt cheese on top as a cheese glaze right before the dog party cake is removed from the oven. You can sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the meaty dog cake as well. Other topping or icing options require a cooled cake before application. The cooled cake frostings include lowfat or nonfat cream cheese, sour cream and gravy. Rice flour is the easiest flour to digest for dogs so if you are going to make a gravy, use rice flour.
The dog party cake is a meatloaf that you can dress up according to your dog's favorite flavors. If your dog loves fish, use ground fish as the main ingredient. You can even use TVP in this recipe to replace some of the meat protein.
