Puppy Dog, Revisited

By Janette | Food

I don’t think Puppy Dog was the original header for this revisited recipe, but that’s what I am calling it today.  Around these parts, Friday could also be called Foodday because we have featured a recipe on Fridays since the very early days of our blogging endeavor.  In fact, my son, who is not a foodie, told me that when he sees it’s a recipe post, he doesn’t even bother reading.  That’s okay by me because I bet he wouldn’t have any problem eating said recipe.

We have featured a loot (pun intended) of recipes.  Just do the math.  Three years times 52 weeks equals a lot of Fridays.  Now, granted, we haven’t had a recipe every Friday, but we almost have.  They have mostly been very tasty, but I don’t think you could call all of them cute.  So, that’s why we are featuring this particular recipe on this our last day of 2013 revisited posts.  The final product is just so darn cute, and I bet you will agree.

I was feeling creative in the kitchen this week and decided to bake some cupcakes for the staff at Gracie’s doggie daycare.  Yes, our dog goes to daycare sometimes to help use up some of her high energy.  A four-mile run doesn’t always cut it.  Mom suggested I make something dog- related for them, and the searching began.  I looked on Pinterest and found a cute picture of a puppy-like cupcake, but there were no directions.   I guessed on some of the things, and they turned out great!!

  I followed a cookies ‘n’ cream cupcake recipe, and honestly, it wasn’t that amazing.  If I make them again, I will go with a vanilla cupcake and vanilla frosting.

While the cupcakes baked, I prepped the dog ears.  The cupcake dog ears – not my real dog’s ears.  I used caramels that I bought in the bulk food section.  I microwaved three of them at a time for about seven seconds  just to make them a tad soft and easy to roll. Each caramel made one floppy ear.

Once the ears were rolled out, I took my kitchen shears and just cut out ear shapes.  Some were longer than others, but I thought it was okay.  You can use a knife, but I had better success with the kitchen shears.

 

 

 

 

sugar - Puppy Dog, Revisited

After prepping the ears, I made the tongues.  I used a pink sugar sheet by Wilton.  Again, I used shears which were easier for me to work with than a knife.  This is the first time I have ever worked with a sugar sheet, and I am a fan.  Once I cut out the tongues, I made a little mark in the middle so they would look more realistic.   When the cutouts were prepped, I iced the cupcakes and put a little more in one area to add definition and to hold the nose (a chocolate covered raisin or peanut) and the tongue.

 

 

Gel - Puppy Dog, Revisited

After I had spread the icing, I made the eyes with black decorating gel .  Then  I added the ears, nose and tongue, and I had a puppy cupcake.

And by the way, the staff loved them.

I am flying up to Jordan’s on Monday for a week of togetherness.  We have our birthdays to celebrate.  Our blog has an anniversary, too.  Be sure to come back because we just might have a gift for you.

 

Take care and have a good/warm week-end.
