Doggie Safe Birthday Cake Recipe

| When your fur baby is turning one, and you want to celebrate, the cake can be a tough part. I have a 3 pound, sweet as can be, little girl chihuahua, Olive. When researching ideas for her first birthday photo session I knew the cake had to be puppy safe. When she was young she suffered terribly from acid reflux so it was even more important that the ingredients would be agreeable with her special diet. |

Main ingredients:

Recipe and cooking directions.

Mix the egg, oil, and PB in a bowl. Mix well.

Sift flour and baking soda directly into wet mixture.

Mix flour, baking soda mixture with wet ingredients while adding shredded carrots.

Fold in carrots. I didn't use the full cup. It's your choice how much to add.

Press mixture into 3 - 4 inch cake pans.

Cook for 30 minutes on 350 degrees.

Let them cool while you work on the "icing."

| I made mashed potatoes for the icing! I used 4 large potatoes. Added 2-3 tbs butter and tiny TINY bit of milk. Add food coloring, if desired! A little goes along way. I set aside 3/4 cup of white mash potatoes. After using my hands to mold the pink MP around the cake I worked with a knife to sculpt the shape. MP is very forgiving. Have fun with it! I used a normal piping bag and frosting tip for the white MP at the bottom. The tiny flowers are sugar cake decoration from Michael's! |

And there it is! So go enjoy this 100% dog & human friendly cake!

While viewing this digital birth announcement I wanted to fill you in on two things. 1) My husband makes these videos for me 2) He wanted to pay homage to the fact Seraphina's dad loves Batman. Enjoy!

When I'm finishing photographing a newborn (or any session/wedding) I store the images in a folder on my office computer. I access that folder what feels like 100 times in the process of editing images. With this little one, I've come to find myself saying her name out loud simply because I love the way it sounds! It's a pleasure to introduce you to Seraphina. Seraphina was born December 27th. Her parents thought she was going to come on the 26th. But Seraphina preferred the 27th for her birthday! Side note - Daddy is a HUGE superhero fan. Enjoy these lightly themed newborn photos from the studio's first baby to be photographed in 2017!










This is Austin Maverick! It's not often I get to use my aviator set and background. When Austin's mommy told me she decorated his nursery with airplanes I knew that she'd love this set up! I mostly like to keep colors and props neutral. It helps the photos stay timeless. This family will be able to love these images for decades without them "going out of style."
