Peanut Butter Banana Pupcakes for Bailey and an Award!

Today our dog, Bailey the Wonder Dog, is 7.  I always make her a birthday cake, but I decided to change things up and make her Pup Cakes. These pup cakes have all of Bailey's favorite things; peanut butter, banana, and carrots. I even put a dollop of peanut butter on top of the pup cake to "glue" a mini Milk bone on top. Needles to say she loved them.  She was a little leery of the candle, but once we took the candle off, she inhaled the pup cake in her bowl.  Then she was content.

The pup cakes only have healthy ingredients for dogs, no sugar, or oil, because they are made with natural peanut butter and unsweetened applesauce.  I got 7 pup cakes out of the recipe, so Bailey can share them with her friends.
