The big birthday is coming??

No, not ours, not that of our husband / boyfriend or the mother of our children ... but his, that of our four-legged! How to celebrate properly? To make it a different day for him and for us, with all the honors it deserves a very special cake is the best way to surprise him and make him happy. And not only his birthday, but in so many different occasions we can surprise him: his "engagement", the first month of the pups, the day of the dog, the day on which we have adopted and lived together at any other time God strikes us as "worthy" to be remembered.

A cake for our dog may have many forms, from traditional ones, similar to ours, to the more assonant with his world or similar to his "prey", a bone, an imprint of the foot, a ball ...
enough that the ingredients are suitable for what type of diet. Not to mention that if we have more dogs, cakes (cakes really ...) should now emerge ... we do not want to leave mica dry muzzle the brothers, the cousins, mom, dad and so on?
Of course you can go to pastry chefs or craft if you want a construction and a decorative "amazing", but the satisfaction of making a cake for them with our hands is priceless ....
Therefore here are some ideas, tips, and simple (especially for cooks not tubes ...)
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
To make him happy, really happy, we must choose its preferred food, enriched with perhaps some news for her palate ... remember that it is inappropriate to abound with the salt and that there is no need to use sugar: he does not eat dessert (or at least should not!)
THE MOUSSE
solution good to cover and decorate the cake is the mousse. You can use qualsisi type of meat: chicken, beef, liver, tuna, salmon, fish varied. Just blend the food cooked, roasted or boiled, and stir a few spoonfuls of cream cheese, preferably light, or even ricotta. Once the mousse, you can use it to decorate or to fill small puffs, using a pastry bag (if you are already a bit 'pastry and you have ...) or simply cut with a knife and filling them with a spoon, and then make a pyramid, so that we have, for example, already a pretty sweet profiteroles. The mousse of chicken livers seem just chocolate mousse! To get the white mousse, however, just mix with low-fat spreadable cheese boiled cod and shake: the color white is always best suited for weddings e. .. pairs of any kind!

THE CAKE: WHAT FORM?
We can prepare or buy a sponge cake or pastry (without sugar). In Italy it does not seem to be still on the market of the pans in the shape of bones, but get a beautiful cake shaped like a bone from a sponge cake is as simple exterior form, dig it internally and then fill it as you want: for the topping abound with everything they like best to our furry.
After that just close it with some of the remaining slices and spread our "sculpture" with the mousse.
If instead we want to make a cake without the "bread" neither pulp, we can chop the meat that he prefers (or use delicious morsels or cubes like we know ...) and then add the well-cooked rice and a non-fat cream cheese thickens it all (maybe the light philadelphia or ricotta). The mixture is dense, it is poured into a teglietta coated film and put it in the fridge for a while ', just a couple of hours. Then it transforms the dish serving and is ready to decorate. Again, we can cover it with the low-fat cheese or a mousse to our pleasure.
very original idea is that of a paw, which is the cake for the birthday boy, who has four fingers loose: a solution for those who have more fun pet: the palm for the birthday and the "fingers" could be smaller cupcakes for amichettti and siblings.
THE DIGNITY
Other "tools" to be used to decorate the cake are lots of biscuits, bones and sticks for dogs and cats that are commercially used as a snack, very easy to achieve.
If we want to create for our pet a cake covered with cream puffs, we can replace them with the balls. - If you do not know how to use the pastry bag (or not) can "write" on the cake's name, year, greetings, and what we want with the washers of carrots or potatoes and strips of zucchini lightly cooked. And with these we can invent many funny doodles ...

Even the cornflakes are great to decorate and cover easily, you can use it to the upper surface of the cake or the circumference side.
THE CAKE TOPPER
On top of our culinary operations should not miss a cake topper: puppies, dogs, married couples ... In this regard, among the pet lovers are now irreducible to the fashion cake toppers for wedding cakes not only representing the newlyweds humans: close to the couple are starting to appear more often even their pet (I think just is not it?)!
The sugar paste cake topper can be made only by very experienced hands.
NOTE
It says: "The eye wants its part ...". Edible dyes are commercially available, we know. It should be remembered that dog and cat do not see our stessti colors: those that distinguishes a dog certainly are yellow, yellow-green and purple.
