Man’s best friend, and woman’s too, is celebrated throughout the month of August; hence Dog-gust! It’s also National Dog Day today so I’ve rounded up some pretty cute dog recipes (and one for your pup too) to help you celebrate your loyal pal.
I love these peanut butter chocolate macarons by Bites by Bianca that she’s made to look just like her beloved dog. The post even comes with a macaron template and a how-to video too.
Pick a cupcake of your choice and use this quick tutorial by Eat Cake Be Merry to learn how to pipe puppies onto cupcakes! Their little fluffy white faces are super adorable and the fondant features really help to bring them to life.
The use of chocolate cereal for ears on these dog cookies by Sophia Sin are a creative choice and give these little cookies a different texture and flavour to the base sugar cookie.
If you’d rather have more lifelike looking dogs made with royal icing, then Cookielicious NZ has a couple of different tutorials on how to decorate. One is a tutorial for a little dachshund in a jumper and the other is how to ice 4 different breeds of dog’s faces. They’ve also included the links to how to make the icing too.
While it might be a bit warm just now to use them for hot drinks, these bone shaped marshmallows from The Simple, Sweet Life are still the perfect accompaniment to all the other dog shaped treats on this list.
A dog I’m sure you’re all familiar with is Pompompurin, and these piped spritz cookies from Cooking with Amyy are very cute and showcase his round yellow form perfectly.
If you want your pup to join in with the celebrations too, then why not make them a dog-friendly cake. Made with bananas and carrots and decorated with mashed potatoes, this cake is recommended by Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, so you know it should be just as safe as it is delicious.
Yes, we have Cute Recipes for Cat Day too!
