Perks of a Cake for your Pet Party
Posted on 11.22.2024
Your dog’s birthday is a special occasion filled with wagging tails, excited barks, and, of course, treats! But when it comes to celebrating your furry friend’s big day, nothing says “I love you” quite like a cake that’s made for them, and that they can actually sink their teeth into and enjoy.
Yes, the small-batch, handmade and custom cakes at Treats Unleashed are completely safe for pets to eat! They may look and smell like human cakes fesh out of the oven, but the recipes are formulated for your furry friends. We have different options in our bakeries for both cats and dogs, but they are all made with human-grade ingredients and are baked to order and decorated by hand, so you know your pet is getting a cake that is fresh and baked with love by our professional pet bakers using our special recipes.
While you might be tempted to whip up something in your kitchen, there’s a growing trend that’s taking pets’ birthdays to the next level, ordering a custom dog birthday cake from a dog bakery.
Not convinced yet? Here’s why it’s a pawsome idea:
Tailored to Your Pup’s Taste Buds
One of the best things about ordering a local dog birthday cake from a bakery is the ability to customize it specifically for your pup.
-
Flavorful Fun: Dog bakeries offer a variety of dog-friendly flavors that you can choose from, ensuring that the cake is not only safe but something your dog will drool over. At Treats Unleashed, we offer both a basic vanilla yogurt and peanut butter flavors as shell options for our cake. We also have a special and specific cat cake option, specifically tailored for feline taste buds and nutritional needs.
-
Customizable Content: Every time you order a birthday cake for your pet at Treats Unleashed, you have the ability to customize the cake’s shell flavor (vanilla or peanut butter), choose two icing/decoration colors (perfect if your pet’s special day has a theme or color scheme you want to stick to) and even add edible yogurt numbers for your pet’s age! And, of course, we are always happy to write your pet’s name on the cake. Some people opt for a regular ‘Happy Birthday’, or even ‘Happy Gotcha Day’ (it’s a cake-worthy occasion in our book). Whatever your custom message is, we’re happy to add it.
-
Perfect for Picky Eaters: Some dogs can be a little fussy when it comes to food. A bakery can work with you to create a cake that’s tailored to your dog’s unique preferences, so there’s no need to worry about whether or not they’ll dig in. If you’re worried about the ingredients in any of our cakes, treats or soft bites, TU bakers are always on stand-by to answer any questions about ingredients or the preparation/cooking process.
Safe and Healthy Ingredients
When it comes to dog treats, finding options that are both delicious and safe is key. Dog bakeries like Treats Unleashed focus on using ingredients that ensure your pup's treats are as healthy as they are tasty. This way, you can feel confident that harmful ingredients aren’t sneaking into your dog's special treats.
-
No Harmful Additives: Top dog bakeries often use natural, organic ingredients free from preservatives, artificial colors, and sweeteners. Treats Unleashed is no exception. Our baked cakes, treats, and soft bites are made with human-grade flour, eggs, peanut butter, pumpkin, honey, rolled outs, cranberries, blueberries and more. No factory-made filler here. This means you can rest assured that you’re giving your dog wholesome and nutritious treats that are all-natural and made from scratch, not pumped out on a converter belt. Plus, all Treats Unleashed baked goods have their own recommended shelf life, because they aren’t packed with artificial preservatives and additives like some other larger/factory-made brands. When you buy a freshly baked treat, cake or cupcake from TU, you are getting something made in a kitchen that’s meant to be enjoyed, not something that’s time-tested to sit on shelves the longest.
-
Allergy-Friendly Options: If your dog has allergies or specific dietary needs, many bakeries can accommodate these with customized options. Whether your pup needs grain-free, dairy-free, or treats without certain proteins, there’s likely a bakery that can craft something perfect for their health. Treats Unleashed bakers mix, bake and decorate everything by hand. That process assures our team members know every ingredient, and can let you know if there is anything in a treat that might upset your pup’s specific tummy or allergies.
Convenience That Can’t Be Beat
Planning a dog birthday party can be a lot of work. Between finding the perfect decorations, sending out invites, and wrangling a bunch of excited pups (hey, it’s not a party without your four-legged friends!), the last thing you need is the added stress of baking a cake. Leave that step to us.
-
Time Saver: By ordering from a bakery, you can focus on enjoying the party instead of worrying about whether the cake will turn out okay. Just place your order and let the professionals handle the rest. We'll contact you when it's ready for your big day. All we ask is for a 24-hour notice on every order so we can made sure our team has time to give each and every order the proper attention and preparation.
-
Made to Share: If your puppy party has a list of guests to feed, fear not: Treats Unleashed cake options that are large enough to share. In fact, while some dogs would love to put their face into an entire cake (trust us, we get it), we recommend our larger cakes be cut into smaller portions for pups to enjoy for a longer term, or shared with a party of pets. Our cakes are handmade with whole ingridients, but are still very much recommended to be served as a 'treat.' If you are unsure what size cake would work best for you, you can always ask a TU baker or staff member for their suggestion.
-
Easy Pickup or Delivery: Many dog bakeries offer convenient pickup or even delivery options, so you don’t have to leave the house. It’s one less thing on your to-do list, making the whole celebration easier to manage.
Enjoy The Treats Unleashed Advantage: Some bakeries even provide same-day delivery or pickup options, so you can get your treats fresh and ready without any extra hassle. To learn more about our pick-up and delivery options, click here.
