Ah! Guess what we're doing today!
Tomorrow is Shelby's 10th birthday
so today...
We're going to make her a birthday cake.
Birthday cake for dogs. Let's do it.
So yes! We are making a DIY birthday cake for Shelby.
But of course she will share it with everybody else. If you guys are new to this channel, my name is Jess,
this is Memphis, that is Oakley, and this is Shelby and Shelby's birthday is tomorrow.
She's turning 10 as I said earlier. If you want to see more of our treat videos, there will be links up in the cards

So you know whenever we put up a new video... Be a treat video, an adventure video, an unboxing video, or whatever it is.
Let's get to making some birthday cake for dogs. So I am making a bone shaped birthday cake for Shelby.
I will put in an Amazon affiliate link to this pan down in the video description below.
If you don't have a bone shaped one, you can use an 8 inch pan or a 6 inch pan.
You can pretty much use any size pan you want to make this little birthday cake.
I am doing this with a hand mixer today, instead of my KitchenAid. Because I didn't feel like getting my KitchenAid out.
Before you start mixing everything together, which you can kind of tell I already, did pre-heat your oven to 350F/180C.
First thing we're going to need is one (1) cup of flour.
This time I am using all-purpose flour. It tends to work a little bit better in cakes to make it a little bit more fluffy.
You can use whole wheat flour as well, but it will make your cake much denser.
It's like Shelby knows this is for her... Whoa!
No! Don't even think about it. Don't even. No!
It's not your birthday. It's not your birthday.
The next thing you will need is one (1) teaspoon of baking soda.
And those are all the dry ingredients for this. So we are quickly going to whisk those together.
I don't know what the deal is but they're all super close for this one. You're like all right here.
It's not very often when they're all like right here for a treat video.
Now we're going to add all of our remaining ingredients.
One (1) teaspoon of vanilla extract
A quarter (1/4) of a cup of peanut butter.
Oh no we cannot get the peanut butter out!
There's a little bit left. Do you want to lick it?
You're the birthday girl, you get to go first.
You want some too?
How about you Memphis? You want some too?
She's like, "Oh! I like peanut butter!"
There's still some in there, do you want to get it?
(oven alarm sounds)
Our ovens preheated. My oven sings apparently. when it preheats.
A quarter (1/4) of a cup of vegetable oil.
One (1) egg.
A third (1/3) of a cup of honey, but I put some non-stick baking spray in my cup so it doesn't stick.
Let's see if the trick worked...
That worked pretty good.
Super sticky. Super sticky.
You want to try it? Oh, it's super sticky. You want to try it Memphis? There you go. Super sticky. It's super sticky.
Go ahead and try it. She's like, "I'm not sure..."
You Wanna try it? No? It's just honey.
Here.
She's like. "I don't want it. It's super sticky."
One (1) cup of unsweetened, shredded coconut.
And two (2) tablespoons of water.
Well, you didn't want the honey, but now you want to see what's going on?
Yeah? I would let you try it, but I guess.
Now we're going to mix it all together.
(background sounds)
Want to lick the beater? You can't eat it!
You can't eat it. You just gotta lick it.
(laughter)
Is it good? Is it good?
You like the beaters? Do you think the cakes gonna be good?
There's our cake batter!
Now we're going to take our bone shaped cake pan, and we are going to spray it with some baking spray.
And then scoop the batter into here.
Now the batter is not super runny, so you kind of going to want to take a spatula and scoot it around.
Kind of make sure it's all level in the pan You can also take and kinda tap it.
That'll get any bubbles out of it, if there's any bubbles in it.
Always remember if using a silicone pan, put it on top of a cookie sheet before you put
It in your oven otherwise you're going to have a mess to clean up. So that's what its kind of look like and now
We're going to put this in the oven for about 20 to 30 minutes.
You want to check it around 20 minutes, stick the center of it with a toothpick. If it comes out clean
It's done, and then you can take it out to cool
If it's not clean you can leave it in there for a little bit longer.
It really depends on what size cake pan you chose and how thick your cake ends up, for how long you're going to cook it?
So just keep an eye on it as you cook it. That's what we're going to do right now
We're going to pop it in the oven and then let it cool and then we're going to decorate it.
We're going to make some frosting too. What do you think birthday girl? Sound good?
Sound good to me...
The cake is done!
I left mine in for twenty (20) minutes exactly. You can kind of see the thickness. How thick it was?
It's pretty dense which is what is expected. If you use whole wheat flour, It'll be a lot more dense.
It turned out pretty good and now comes the fun part. We're going to make some frosting.
Now we're going to make the frosting. We're going to use some whipped cream cheese.
Don't even think about trying... Don't even think about trying to eat that cake. It's not your birthday. Are you excited?
You got to wait! We have to put frosting on it.
(laughter)
Aww!
Anyway, we're going to use a little bit of whipped cream cheese because it spreads easier.
And a little bit of fruit flavored baby food. just to give it a little bit of a touch.
You don't have to use the baby food. You can just use this but...
We're going to add a little bit of flavor to it.
Oh... Cream cheese in a bowl...
Geez! Is like, you know... Shelby's favorite thing in the world is cheese.
Wanna try it Memphis?
Wanna try it Oakley? You can't try it all, Memphis!
Want to try Oakley?
Memphis is like, "Wait! Let me get back in there!"
Memphis is like, "They're both in there. How can I fit in there?"
Memphis is like, "I'll fit in here!"
(laughter)
Use the whole container of cream cheese.
But then, probably add just like a scoop or so of the baby food, if you get a big jar
If you got a little jar, you can use the whole little jar.
And then I think I'm just going to stir this with a spoon, since it's whipped cream cheese.
If you choose to get the cream that comes in a block...
make sure you soften it, and then you can use a hand mixer to whip it together.
Changed my mind... Spoon wasn't working... Hand mixer works best...
Oh my goodness! Lick the beater!
Want to lick one?
Oh my goodness!
How about you Memphis? You're really over there... lick one?
Oh my goodness!
That's the best frosting ever?
Best frosting ever!
(laughter)
Alright, so using the hand mixer. You can tell it kind of made it look more like royal frosting.
Now, we're going to frost this cake.
Definitely, I'm not a fancy cake decorator.
You can do this many ways, you can frost all the way around.
I'm choosing to just frost the top of the cake because I thought it would look pretty for the photos.
I figure if I go all the way around it's going to blend in with my white plate.
I'm just going to frost the top, But I also have some other ideas for this as well.
And the best part about frosting a cake? Leftovers for asking!
Oh my!
You want some? You still have some on your face from licking the beaters.
(laughter)
Oakley? Would you like a bite?
Oh my goodness!
(laughter)
And... We did it! It says "Happy Birthday Shelby!"
So, we put the little coconut flakes on it.
There's the 'Ten' (10) because she's turning 10.
The icing writing turned out, okay.
Just kind of watch the blend a little, but we made it work.
It's your birthday!
Well, is your birthday tomorrow. but it's your birthday cake!
Want some coconuts? Here!
Present purple coconut, I made it just for you!
Purple color coconut?
One purple coconut there you go... Don't even think about it. I have to take a picture of it.
(laughter)
Alright! Now they get to try it!

Shelby's like, "This is amazing!"
Shelby's like, "This is the best birthday cake ever!"
Aww! You're so cute!
You have to share though. Your sisters get a piece as well. Is that okay?
You can't keep the whole thing to yourself as much as you may want to.
Are you super excited, you get a piece of cake too?
'BOING!' Spring loaded, come over here and sit!
Sit! Sit or you can't have it!
And... Can you speak?
Speak!

Well, it was pretty crumbly for you too, huh?
And... Is gone!
(laughter)
Alright! Is miss Oakley's turn!
She's like, "Wait! There's crumbles down here guys!"
I cut hers up because I know she's going to eat it fast!
Here honey!
How about, you take it off that plate?
She's like "Oh, okay. I could do that!"
Is it good stuff?
(laughter)
She's like, "Um yeah! This is amazing!"
(laughter)
