Pupcakes with Peanut Butter and Banana

Peanut butter and banana cupcakes for your dog, topped with mashed potato icing and a dog treat garnish!

I learned late on March 23rd that it was National Puppy Day.

And how could I not commemorate my favorite little girl?

Then, as is my wont, I had to go a bit overboard. Indeed, I do refer to them as pupcakes.

A puppy does not need a handcrafted pupcake.

And, no, she doesn’t care how it appears.

And yes, I am insane for baking a cupcake for my dog that looks delicious enough to eat. I don’t mind. She is deserving!

Clearly, she is content with my decision.

She received a double dose of peanut butter with the heart-shaped goodie, which is one of my handmade peanut butter and bacon snacks.

The other was a Hare of the Dog Rabbit Recipe Red Apple & Dandelion treat from her most recent BarkBox, and although she doesn’t perform backflips for these as she does for mine (thankyouverymuch), she does like them.
