Guest AngelPup Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hi all. We will be adopting our first greyhound soon--can't WAIT--and his fourth birthday is the end of this month. I was wondering if anyone has any birthday cake recipes that would be safe for dogs. My youngest daughter loves to bake and is already excited to be celebrating our new pooch's birthday, so I know she'd love to bake him a cake. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

OwnedBySummer Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Here's one that I got from Greybookends on this forum. It's delicious! -- or, at least, that's what the canine population has told me, LOL. Bake at 325 degrees and line brownie pan with foil. 8x11 pan will work1 box Jiffy cornmeal muffin mix2 whole eggs (shells can be included)1 tsp. garlic powder1 pound chicken livers (or beef)Blend well in blender or food processor and bake at 325F for 25 - 27 minutes.Cool and peel off foil.Cut it up for brownies or leave whole to be a cake. For the icing, just mixed peanut butter and yogurt and spread it on the cake. Decorate with the mini marshmallows and trim with raw chicken & duck feet.Store in the refrigerator. Leftovers can be frozen. And here it is, all ready for Summer's 6th birthday: Quote Lisa B.

Guest wylie_coyote Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 That is a dogs dream cake. Mine would be so happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AngelPup Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 LOL! Wow, that IS a doggie wonder cake--THANKS!! Not sure if my 16 year old daughter would go anywhere near the chicken livers, but I know she will be TOTALLY skeeved by the chicken/duck feet. Maybe we'll replace the feet with pre-cooked turkey bacon. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHead Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I make a beef and liver cake (not really a recipe, just ground beef and liver ) For the "icing" I cook sweet potato and mash it with some yogurt. I sometimes stick sardines on as "candles." Pertty disgusting looking cake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjw Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 This one had a base of frozen liver icecream, and was garnished with chicken feet and duck feet.

Guest AngelPup Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'm still having a hard time getting over the feet. It does look very cool and I'm SURE any dog would be thrilled with it! Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest starr511 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Where can I find turkey necks and feet??? The cakes look wonderful!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Isabella Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) This cake is really in the "running" to be a top recipe ! Where does everyone get their feet ? Do you just give them to your dogs whole like that? And most importantly, do they smell ??? Izzy's birthday is in June and I'd really like to make her one Edited May 5, 2013 by Isabella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AngelPup Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The only place I've ever seen chicken feet was at PriceRite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwnedBySummer Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) I get my raw chicken feet from a local supplier of raw dog food, of which there are several companies around me. They come frozen. The raw duck feet I get from a local duck raising/slaughtering farm. Those I get fresh and then I freeze them in a single layer on cookie sheets, then put them in a bag in the freezer. And yup, I feed them whole, defrosted and just the way they are (i.e. toenails and all). If you don't have access to any sources like that, try an Asian market. Or a "small town" style of butcher may be able to oblige you. Oh, and no, they don't smell. Edited May 6, 2013 by OwnedBySummer Quote Lisa B.

Guest AngelPup Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Lisa, thanks again for that fantastic birthday cake recipe! Brady LOVED it. It was too funny watching him eat it. He kept searching for more all over the kitchen.... I forgot to add the birthday number candle--BUMMER! And swapped out the chicken feet for chicken jerky (for dogs). He turned 4 years old, btw. Definitely a hit! Edited May 27, 2013 by AngelPup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwnedBySummer Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 That's wonderful! Congratulations on both the adoption and handsome Brady's birthday! Quote Lisa B.

Guest greybookends Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Here is the original chicken foot cake. And the hound that inspired the cake. The only thing that would have made that cake better in Bills eyes would have been "THEM". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueberri Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Any ideas on what I could use to substitute for the jiffy mix (as we don't get it here) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueberri Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I wood think any corn muffin mix would work. Errr... anything else? Corn muffins are not done here. (ditto cornbread, grits (whatever they are), cool whip, and probably a zillion other things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AngelPup Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I would think any basic (plain) muffin mix would work. Can you get your hands on corn meal or flour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueberri Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thanks Angelpup! I'll check a local dry goods store to see if they have cornmeal. Otherwise I'll try for a plain muffin mix. Not that Sparky would complain. He devoured half a box of weetbix the other day. Methinks he'll be poopin breakfast cereal for a while now!

I have no idea what Jiffy mix is either - but would polenta do? Assuming you can get that! Quote Dippy (Dinky Dipstick) and Velvet (Redbrick Velvet). Remembering sweet handsome Rebel (Emporio Rebel).
