Choose from one of these various "cake" styles to celebrate your dog's big day. Your dog will not get any upset stomachs from these recipes. The ingredients are actually sometimes provided by a vet sometimes! [Edit]Ingredients [Edit]Peanut Butter Banana Cake - 1/2 cup unsalted peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup of milk
[Edit]Meat Lover's Cake - 1 slice bacon
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup cooked barley or brown rice
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
[Edit]Sweet Apple Cake - 1 egg
- 1 apple, finely diced (leave skin on)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon honey
[Edit]Carrot Chicken Cake - 1 can healthy dog food
- Pureed carrots
- Boiled chicken breast
- Various dog treats
[Edit]Making a Peanut Butter Banana Cake - Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC.
- Grease a small cake pan or muffin tin. This recipe makes a small cake in a serving size suitable for your dog and a friend. If you have more canine guests, you'll want to double the recipe.[1]
- Mix the ingredients together in a medium bowl. Use an electric mixer or your own elbow grease to mix up the peanut butter, egg, banana, baking powder and cottage cheese until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- If you want the cake to have a firmer structure, add 1/2 cup of wheat flour. Many dogs are sensitive to wheat, so you should only do this if you know your dog can safely eat wheat products.
- If your dog like sweeter treats, you can also add 2 teaspoons apple juice.
- Don't add extra sugar or salt, since it's not good for your dog.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Use the back of your spoon to smooth over the top, so it will bake evenly.
- Bake the cake for 15 to 20 minutes. Test the cake to see if it's done by sticking a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, it's done.
- Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Don't dish it up right away, since it's too hot for your dog's mouth.
- Ice the cake with extra peanut butter. If you want it to have the lighter texture of regular cake icing, beat equal parts peanut butter and cream cheese, then spread it on the cake.
[Edit]Making a Meat Lover's Cake - Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC.
- Grease a small cake pan or muffin tin. This recipe makes a small cake in a serving size suitable for your dog and a friend. If you have more canine guests, you'll want to double the recipe.
- Cook the bacon until crispy. You may do this in the microwave or on the stovetop. When the bacon is crispy, place it on a paper towel to drain the grease.
- Mix the ingredients in a medium bowl. Crumble the bacon into the bowl, and add the ground beef, cooked barley or rice, carrot and egg. Use a spoon to thoroughly mix the ingredients together.
- You know best what your dog finds tasty. Feel free to add a handful of other vegetables your dog likes to "sweeten" the cake for him or her.
- You could also add herbs for some gourmet flair. Add a tablespoon of chopped parsley if you know your dog likes the taste.
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan. Use your fingers to press it evenly into the pan. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the top.
- Bake the meat cake for 45 minutes. The beef should be fully cooked at this point. Remove the cake from the oven to allow it to cool, then invert it onto a plate. You may have to run a knife around the edges to help loosen the cake.
- Ice the cake with cream cheese. Wait until the cake is mostly cool, or the cream cheese will melt.
[Edit]Making a Sweet Apple Cake - Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC.
- Grease a small cake pan or muffin tin. This recipe makes a small cake in a serving size suitable for your dog and a friend. If you have more canine guests, you'll want to double the recipe.
- Mix the ingredients in a medium bowl. Place all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and creamy.[2]
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Use the back of the spoon to smooth the top of the batter.
- Bake the cake for 15 minutes. Test to make sure the cake is ready by sticking a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it's wet, give the cake a few more minutes.
- Let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Once the cake is cool, invert it onto a plate for serving.
- Ice the cake with extra cream cheese. You can sweeten it with a little honey if your dog has a sweet tooth.
- Finished.
[Edit]Making a Carrot Chicken Cake (No Bake) - Pour the puréed carrot mixture into a cake pan. Add as much as needed, depending on how big the cake pan is.
- Add boiled chicken breast in the cake pan.
- Decorate with dog treats.
- Serve. It's time for your dog to have its birthday treat.
- Use pieces of dog food to help write things on the cake.
- Cream cheese or yogurt with dog chocolate (carob powder) makes great icing for sweet cakes.
- Never put sugar or salt in doggy treats.
- Dogs can't have salt or sugar.
[Edit]Warnings - Never use chocolate in dog recipes.
- Don't use bleached flour. Whole wheat flour is a healthier alternative.
- Do not feed a dog too many treats.

| How to Make a Vanilla Scent Using Extract Posted: 17 Mar 2022 09:00 AM PDT Vanilla is a very popular scent for perfumes and fragrances, but some of those fragrances can end up costing a lot of money. There are easy ways to create your own vanilla fragrances using ingredients in your pantry. You can also purchase essential oils to mix with vanilla for a more unique scent, created by you. - Buy a bottle of vanilla. Organic vanilla extract has a potent vanilla scent, and most people use it for cooking and baking, among other things.[1] If you don't already have a bottle of vanilla extract in your pantry, then you can purchase a small bottle at your local grocery store.
- Any size will work, but if you plan on using a lot of fragrance, the bigger bottle will come in handy.
- Open the bottle of vanilla extract. Once you're home, you can unwrap the bottle of vanilla extract, being sure to take off the protective wrapper underneath the lid. Replace the lid and put your finger on the opening, completely covering it, and turn the bottle upside down. Flip the bottle upright again and you should have a dab of vanilla on your finger.
- Be careful not to spill! Vanilla extract pours a very thin liquid, so it's easy to waste if you tip it or pour too much.
- Place the vanilla on your body. Most perfume hot-spots are the wrists, neck and under your ears. Put a dab or drop of vanilla extract on both wrists and the sides of your neck, or wherever you desire.
- If your skin has a reaction to the vanilla, it could be that you're using a non-organic or synthetic vanilla with added ingredients.[2] Stop using the product, or try using smaller amounts on different areas of the skin.
- Keep the bottle with you. Using vanilla extract as perfume is a good quick-fix, but it doesn't last long. You'll have to re-apply frequently in order to keep the vanilla scent strong.
[Edit]Creating Your Own Perfume - Buy a spray bottle. You can buy any size spray bottle, or purchase multiple sizes. You can make a large bottle of perfume for your house, but you can also get a small spray bottle to keep in your purse.[3]
- Make sure you get a spray cap where you push down, and not pull a trigger. These are much easier to apply perfume.
- Buy a bottle of vanilla extract. You should usually purchase one large bottle, and organic vanilla tends to work the best. Getting a bottle of pure vanilla is important, because the perfume won't turn out well if the vanilla extract has sugar in it.[4]
- If you're worried about the price, just remember: no matter how much you pay, it's going to be significantly less than the price of those expensive perfumes that everyone else buys!
- Shop for essential oils. Different types of essential oils can be added to your vanilla perfume to create your own unique scent. You can buy small bottles of essential oils, and try them out to decide what you like best.[5]
- Popular essential oils are rose, lavender, peppermint, chamomile and patchouli.[6]
- Combine ingredients in spray bottle. Pour the essential oil of your choice into the spray bottle, and fill the remainder of the bottle's content with vanilla. If the spray bottle is large, then you can empty the entire essential oil bottle.[7] If the spray bottle is smaller, fill it under half-way, and then top it off with vanilla.
- Shake the spray bottle well before spritzing onto your skin or into the air. Some people spray the air in front of them and walk through it to use as a body-mist.
[Edit]Choosing New Scents - Buy a container to hold the perfume. You can choose between a spray bottle or just a perfume container. Spray bottles are easy to apply and can fit in a purse, but you can make a larger quantity of perfume in larger containers.
- Buy essential oils. There are a variety of essential oils out there with multiple uses. According to aromatherapy, some scents have certain effects on the mind or body.[8] Having a lot of essential oils to choose from will come in handy for creating new fragrances.
- You may want to purchase a bottle of vanilla extract, too, if you want to try mixing vanilla as a scent. Other popular perfumes fragrances are jasmine, lavender and rose.
- Buy alcohol. Alcohol is used to preserve and combine the scents that you use.[9] You want to choose a mild alcohol without a lot of influence on the fragrances you select.
- Many people use vodka or rum for their homemade perfumes.[10]
- Mix two or three chosen oils in a bottle. You can choose from your essential oil selection which fragrances you'd like to use, but don't use more than three. Put 25-30 drops of the scent you'd like to stand out the most, while adding 12-20 drops of one or two other "base oils."[11]
- It would be best to let these oils sit for several days to allow the fragrances to combine, but this is optional if you need a quick-fix.
- Add the alcohol to the oils. After your oils are mixed, add about four ounces of alcohol of your choosing. Shake the alcohol-and-oil mixture well to allow all the scents to mix and combine. You can either use the perfume right away, or allow it to sit for a few weeks to let the alcohol scent fade and the perfumes to combine.
- Sometimes fragrances change after several weeks. You may enjoy the scent right when you mix the products, but then discover that you don't enjoy it after a couple weeks. Alternatively, you may dislike a scent right away, only to discover the scents combined well after two weeks of sitting alone.[12]
[Edit]Things You'll Need - Vanilla extract
- A variety of essential oils
- Alcohol, such as vodka or rum
