They're also popular as gifts for dog-loving friends and family. The carob and yoghurt frosting is dog-safe, no-melt, and looks party-perfect for photos.

How to choose a dog birthday cake
Choosing a dog birthday cake comes down to three things: your dog's size, how many dogs are celebrating, and whether you want a showpiece cake or a simple decorated bone. We bake every one of them in our Australian family bakery, the same way we have since 2014, so whichever you pick arrives hand decorated and ready for the big day. Small decorated bones start at $5, large bones run from $9 to $11, and our full birthday cakes are $17.95.
As a quick rule of thumb: a small bone suits toy and small breeds, a large bone suits medium sized dogs, and a full cake suits big dogs or any party where you want slices to go around.
Choose by what you need
- A proper centrepiece: the Dog Birthday Cake Dog Treat in carob or yoghurt, $17.95, is the one for the hero photo, and it slices for sharing once the candles come off.
- A gotcha day celebration: the Happy Got U Day Dog Cake, $17.95, and the Large Gotcha Bone, $9, are decorated for adoption anniversaries rather than birthdays.
- A simple birthday for a little dog: the Small Dog Bday Bone, $5, gives small breeds a treat scaled to them, with no mountain of leftovers.
- A party with several dogs: the Doggie Doughnut 6pk Box, $14.95, splits neatly into one doughnut per guest.
- A colour theme: the Large Happy Birthday Bone comes in blue and bright or pink and pastel, $11 each, so the treat matches the decorations.
- A celebration that is not a birthday: the You're Pawsome Dog Cake, $17.95, and the Large You're Pawsome Bone, $10, cover graduations, new homes and plain old good dog moments.
- The finishing touch: the Acrylic Dog Birthday Cake Topper, $4.50, adds height to any cake photo and can be kept for next year.
Match the cake to your dog's size
| Dog size | Pick from our bakery | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Small breeds | Small Dog Bday Bone or Small Woof Bone | $5 |
| Small breeds, extra decoration | Small Dog Happy Birthday Bone | $8.10 |
| Medium dogs | Large Bday Bone or Large Woof Bone | $9 |
| Medium to large dogs, colour themed | Large Happy Birthday Bone in blue and bright or pink and pastel | $11 |
| Large dogs, or one dog sharing with friends | Dog Birthday Cake Dog Treat, carob or yoghurt | $17.95 |
| Multi dog parties | Doggie Doughnut 6pk Box | $14.95 |
Sizes are a guide, not a rule. Plenty of customers buy the full cake for a small dog and simply serve it in slices across the week, and a big dog is never offended by a large bone.
Carob or yoghurt: picking a frosting
Our birthday cakes come finished in carob or yoghurt, and the choice is mostly about looks. Carob gives that rich, chocolate style finish, and it is naturally caffeine free with none of the theobromine found in real chocolate, which is exactly why we bake with it. Our yoghurt frosting bakes up pale and creamy, takes coloured decoration beautifully, and is no melt, so it holds its shape through an Australian summer party.
Ordering, storing and serving
We bake and dispatch from our own bakery, so allow ordering time the way you would for any celebration cake: about a week ahead is comfortable for most Australian addresses, longer for regional and remote areas. Once it arrives, keep the cake in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight until the party. On the day, treat it like any cake: candles on, photos taken, then slice it and serve a piece sized to your dog, with the rest put away for later in the week.
Make it a full party
A cake is the centrepiece, not the whole show. Add a party hat from our dog birthday hats, or let us do the matching for you with our dog birthday bundles. Sending to a friend's dog instead? Our dog gift boxes arrive ready to give, and you can always top up the party table from the full range of dog treats we bake.
Frequently asked questions
How far ahead should I order a dog birthday cake?
We bake and dispatch from our own Australian bakery, so treat it like ordering any celebration cake. Placing your order about a week before the party suits most Australian addresses, and a few extra days of buffer helps if you are in a regional or remote area.
How should I store the cake before the party?
Keep it in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight, in its packaging or an airtight container. Our yoghurt frosting is no melt, so the fridge is not required. Check the best before date on the label and plan the party inside it.
Can my dog eat the whole cake in one go?
We suggest treating it exactly like a cake for people: slice it, serve a piece sized to your dog, and put the rest away for the days after. For parties, the Doggie Doughnut 6pk Box is an easy alternative because it divides into single serves.
What size cake suits my dog?
Small decorated bones at $5 suit toy and small breeds, large bones from $9 to $11 suit medium dogs, and the full $17.95 birthday cakes suit large dogs or any celebration where slices are being shared around. When in doubt, size down and slice.
Are your dog birthday cakes made in Australia?
Yes. Every cake, bone and doughnut on this page is baked and hand decorated in our family bakery here in Australia. We have been baking for dogs since 2014, and every treat in the birthday range comes out of our own ovens.
What is the difference between the carob and yoghurt cakes?
The base cake is the same; the finish differs. Carob gives a rich, chocolate style look and is naturally caffeine free with no theobromine, which is why we use it instead of chocolate. Yoghurt frosting is pale and creamy and takes coloured decoration beautifully. Both are hand decorated.
