A chip cake for a dog named Chip! These chips are made from dog specific fondant (they are not real potato chips 😅). Happy Birthday Chip!! 🐾
Hi friends! I am pausing all new cake orders for the foreseeable future. As much as this hurts, I need to set some personal time/financial boundaries for my own sanity. I hope to take this break to reevaluate and come up with a more sustainable game plan which will help me to offer cakes again in the future 🐶
If you have a cake on the calendar, I am still creating those at the price point as quoted 🐾
Curious on what goes into a custom cake? Here are just some of the steps/factors 🎂
Cake design:
-researching
-drawing ideas
-figuring out a way to make it with dog friendly ingredients
Cookies:
-mixing the dough which includes handmade peanut butter
-cutting out (custom cookie cutters or hand cut shapes)
-stamping
-dehydrating
If decorated/flooded cookies:
-mixing the frosting
-getting the colors just right using all natural food colors
-piping and drying time
-possible carob sticks
Cake:
-mixing the batter
-prepping the pans
-cooking
-leveling
-mixing frosting including adding colors
-filling piping bags
-base cover
-detail work
Packaging Up:
-building the box, etc.
-photos (which I rarely take right now because getting the perfect look is extra work).
Cleaning:
-dishes!!!
Delivery/Pickup:
-sometimes not because it’s during my dog training hours but sometimes it’s on one of my days off
This does not include costs that cut into profit such as:
Payment processing fees
Ingredients
Packaging
Other supplies (piping tips, cookie cutters, etc)
For all of my cakes, I am making less than minimum wage and sometimes as low as $2-3 per hour.
Happy Birthday Tater Tot! 🥔
Twinkie themed cakes for two lucky dogs 🐶🐶
Did you know all the peanut we use for our dog celebration cakes, pupcakes, Smoochies cookies, and in our custom flavored peanut butters is freshly ground by us?
This means you can rest assured our peanut butter is perfectly safe for your dog.
No salt. No sugar. No added oils. No preservatives. Just dry roasted peanuts 🥜
Isn’t it fun to watch a Toppl topple and tip around??
