Dog birthday cake questions, answered

Where can I get a dog birthday cake in Chicago?

Chicago has a real dog-bakery scene — neighborhood bakers making pup cakes, carob-frosted layer cakes, and peanut-butter biscuits to order. Most take custom orders with a few days' notice.

Are dog birthday cakes safe for cats too?

Not always. Several bakeries here bake a separate cat birthday cake — usually salmon, tuna, or chicken based. Ask for the cat version rather than sizing down a dog cake.

How much does a dog birthday cake cost?

Roughly $15–$25 for a single-serving pup cake and $35–$60 for a small custom layer cake with your dog's name on it.
