Dog Friendly Birthday Cake

I am so glad that I can make Dog Friendly Birthday Cake.
I have four dogs plus one grand dog.

Dog Friendly Birthday Cake

 
This is the cake that we can share with our canine best friends.
And it tastes good too!
 

I came upon this cake by accident.
A while back I had baked myself a carrot cake for my birthday. I put the cake on the counter to cool and went to pick my kids up. When I returned, five minutes later, the cake was gone and my dog was licking his chops.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

Luckily, when I called the vet, I learned that my dog would be okay.

This is because my birthday cake was made with dog-friendly ingredients. Even though I was without my birthday cake, I still had a great birthday as a result.

The cake that my dog had eaten was made with carrots.
Carrots have always been a favorite snack with my dogs. And evidently, that carrot cake smelled real good too!
 

This cake can be frosted too!

How do you shred a carrot?

Shredding carrots is pretty easy to do, as you may have expected.
Some folks will shred their carrots in a food processor.

There are a few things to keep in mind when shredding carrots.
First off, start with a large carrot, the fatter the better. I like to scrub my carrots and then scrape off the outside. This can not only remove any remaining dirt and impurities, it can assure that your carrots have an even surface. Lastly, to measure your carrots, simply place them into the measuring cup loosely, as in not packing the shredded carrots in.

Here are some helpful products.

I like to shred my carrots by hand using one of these gadgets.
