Doggy Tested
Four-year-old Beabull Lola, supervised the baking of this recipe at her home just this week. With her Beagle nose, she knew she was in for a sweet surprise as soon as the peanut butter jar cracked open!
With wide eyes and maybe just a little drool, Lola knew it was about to be her lucky day!
It didn’t take long to mix up all the ingredients for the pup-cakes and get them in the oven. Then once cooled, our taste tester Lola stepped in. She wasn’t thrilled she had to sit and give paw before receiving her pupcake. Although she happily obliged after getting a taste of these delicious pup-cakes!
