I baked this garden veggie dog cake for my dog Milo’s birthday last weekend. The carrots and peas made the cake colorful, and he ate the first piece without picking around the vegetables.

I store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Milo gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us four days.
