Max & Ginger Pupcakes
Max & Ginger Pupcakes are human like cupcakes that are safe for your dogs! No toxic chemicals. Nothing but the best for our dogs!
Here’s a great recipe for your furkids! My dogs Max and Ginger go absolutely nuts for these homemade dog pupcakes (aka cupcakes).
What I really like about making my own homemade dog treats is that you know exactly what’s going into them versus those Chinese made treats with unknown ingredients and chemicals. Homemade dog treats give us piece of mind!
Originally I was going to make them some cookies but I remembered that my dogs go nuts when they see me eating cupcakes so I figured why not, let’s make them some pupcakes!
The frosting is optional as well as the small milk bone I added to each pupcake. I just figured that if I am going to spoil my kids, I might as well really spoil them!
Recipe Variation
As you see in the pictures, I used a mini muffin pan to make these doggie treats. My dogs are very small so a mini cupcake is perfect for them. If you have a larger dog then a regular size muffin pan will be fine.

These cupcakes are ideal for your fur babies. I have a small dog so only gave her a little at a time. She loved them. This is a recipe I will keep.
