One Year Older.

Pippa turned ONE!!!!! and a month,
but we won't talk a out the fact that it took me a whole month to post about it.

we had a little partyyyyy for the big pup.
i made her a carrot cake. she loves carrots. i give her carrots as treats.
i had been "researching" doggie cakes and found this recipe.

it was an easy decision when it came to what flavor of cake i would be making, carrots&peanut butter with pink yogurt frosting. homegirl LOVES yogurt. this cake was super easy to make. the ingredients were super normal. nothing fancy. i thought it would be hard to make because it was for a dog. i thought the recipe would call for weird "dog" ingredients. turns out you can eat it. i tasted the batter.
not bad. not great.

here are the ingredients if your interested in making a cake for a special four-legged friend:

• 
        1 egg
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/3 cup honey (optional)
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup whole wheat or white flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

i made her a crown with stuff from from my "craft box". i got the inspiration from this youtube video: 

(FIY her website/blog is really cute, strongly suggest stalking her and her fab ideas.)

i made some british cupcakes for the party... for us humans. they were royally delicious. what is it about homemade chocolate buttercream frosting that makes you want to eat yourself to a wheel chair.

side-note i had left over frosting and saved it to ice some brownies with for mutual.
oh my best brownies ever. ice it when they are hot and it melts into the brownies. then let them cool and add another layer. bomb.

we got pippa a bone and we talked to the shop lady and she said this bone would last!! i was a little skeptical and thought pippa will chew through it. well, well, well the shop lady wasn't right. it HAS lasted a whole month!! yahoo. 

she hated wearing the crown and was being all fussy until the cake came out.
at that moment she forgot all about the fact that a "weird thing" was on her head. 

she struggled with the crown. she was wondering why there was something on her head only until the moment when we brought out the cake.

we let her eat about half of the cake. saved the rest for breakfast, lunch, and dinner the following day.
i think i can speak for pippa and say it was one of the yummiest days of her one-year-old life.

at the end of this post you probably decided that i'm a crazy "dog lady" (cause i thought the same exact thing.) how did this happen? and to me, out of all people...i don't get it. i never really liked dogs. honestly.

i totally made a video. a month ago. tried uploading it a month ago. wouldn't upload. getting a little annoyed with YouTube and thinking of going over to vimeo soon.
