Our dog’s birthday is in November, so I thought a cake with fall flavors would be best to celebrate his special day. This grain-free, pumpkin, and apple dog-cake recipe came out great.

The cake is very fluffy and delicious. How do I know? Well, of course I had to try it. Even my kids were wondering why it was for him and not them. LOL

Pumpkin Apple Cake Recipe

I tweaked my recipe many times to make sure all the ingredients were safe for him to eat and also adjusted the measurements to make sure I ended up with a small cake. If you want a bigger cake, then double the recipe and use 6-inch cake pans.

This grain-free, pumpkin, and apple dog-cake recipe makes two small 4-inch cake layers and it’s topped with pumpkin-flavored whipped cream and raspberries.

If you get different ingredients than the ones I am listing, then make sure you get quality ingredients and check each item in the nutritional label. Some ingredients that are safe for people to consume are extremely harmful to dogs.

Also, the whipped cream frosting is completely optional. You can use half of the amount listed in the recipe or use only berries on top.

Bone Cake Topper

Finish the look with a simple cake topper. For this cake, I used a medium-sized bone. The large bones are better for 6-inch cakes.

  2. Use a hot glue gun to adhere the paper bone into a skewer.
  3. Trim the skewer if it sticks out to far.

Finally, print out some party hats, and get ready to pawty!
