Cake for the Dogs

We had the pleasure of celebrating my parents’ dog Rigley’s birthday last weekend – dog birthdays are the best kind of birthdays!

It happened to also be my mom’s birthday, which allowed her to throw a creative celebration with friends and dogs on her own special day. It’s a good thing, cause my dad doesn’t have the best track-record for this kind of thing, and we Rocha (family name) women loooove our birthdays!

We bailed on outdoor plans at Scorton Creek (Sandwich, MA) due to the extreme cold front, but the dogs had a blast in the house. My mom made adorable party favor doggy bags filled with homemade dog treats, and there was even a full-size cake made with dog-friendly ingredients, courtesy of the Canine Cookery! As you can see above, guest Graycee just couldn’t wait to snag her tastey bite!

I made the carrot-cake cupcakes for the humans. Happy Birthday Mom & Rigley!
