Bison + Bacon Dog Birthday Cake Recipe

June 26, 2018 By Kari 1 Comment

Your pup will inhale this delicious bison and bacon birthday cake! You can even slice some off for yourself.
(My favourite part is the icing.) Keep reading for all the delicious ingredients and tips for Pinterest-worthy decorating!

Dog birthday cake bison and bacon-1

Bison + Bacon Dog Birthday Cake Recipe

If you’re like us, you take any chance to treat your dog like the prince (or princess) they are. Our boxer Moses’ sixth birthday this year was no exception.

Moses has always been just like our kid. Our love for him only intensified when our son Wyatt came into the picture. Watching the two of them together has been so special. He’s a wonderful big brother! Moses gets a cake every year, and per tradition, he wears the same birthday hat he wore on his first birthday for each celebration (only for the photo, until he paws it off)!

Dog birthday cake bison and bacon-2

Time Investment:

1.5 hours (plus a total of 15 minutes just trying to keep your pup out of the kitchen while you make it.)

You’ll Need:

  • Five Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • One pound of organic ground bison
  • One cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1.5 cups of cooked from frozen organic peas
  • Four slices of healthy pork bacon (I’ve used turkey bacon too)
  • One organic free-range egg
  • 1/4 cup of rolled oats

Dog birthday cake bison and bacon-3

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F
  • Peel and cube potatoes and lay in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 20ish minutes, until fork-tender. Strain and set aside to cool.
  • Fry bacon and set aside.

Dog birthday cake bison and bacon-4

  • Cook peas and set aside.
  • Combine peas, bison, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, egg, oats, and 3/4 cup of peas into a bowl like you’re making a meatloaf.
  • Shape mixture into a dog bone (the best you can) on a baking sheet. (Let’s be honest, your dog isn’t going to care what shape it’s in. This is only for photos.) Bake for 40 minutes.

Dog birthday cake bison and bacon-5

  • While your cake is baking, mashed your potatoes (which will be used as icing for your cake) and chop bacon into one-inch pieces.
  • Once the cake is baked, cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Evenly spread mashed potatoes over your cake.

Dog birthday cake bison and bacon-6

  • Sprinkle remaining cheese on the top of the cake and layer the bottom with the fried bacon
  • Spell your dog’s name out with the remaining peas. (I dipped each pea in a bit of mashed potato before pressing it on, just to make sure they would stay in place.)
  • Serve on a cute plate and watch your pup go to town!

Dog birthday cake bison and bacon-7

**Please Note: Make sure to consult your vet before giving this to your pet. Animals react differently to certain ingredients and I would never want anything bad to happen to your furry babies!

First time going to Disney? We got so much great a First time going to Disney? We got so much great advice and awesome tips for how to maximize our first time at the park as a family.

➡️ The number one thing I want to pass along is to allow breathing room in your days there. Don't overplan it. Try not to be SO scheduled that you miss the magic. ✨️

Of course you want to have a general plan of the rides you want to hit, your strategy for tackling the pack, etc. but leave space so when suddenly Goofy is walking down the street and your kiddo wants a photo - you have time. 

➡️ Book your hotel and park passes ahead of time for sure. Reserve a character dinner too (we booked ours the day before and got the last spot). 

There are a lot of to-the-minute schedules you'll find out there for how to hit every ride and try all the food in record time but for a family with young kids, I don't recommend it. Just go with the flow and have fun! 🤗

➡️ Make sure to head a few reels back and see how we surprised our seven-year-old with the trip! Ask any questions below. ❤️ Like and save this post if it was helpful for you.

More Disney tips coming to my Reels feed and KariSkelton.com this week!
