I made this bacon egg celebration cake for my dog Milo’s birthday last month. The bacon and eggs made the kitchen smell like breakfast, and he sat by the oven until it was done.
Using easy-to-find ingredients, this homemade dog food recipe is not only a delightful treat but also a nutritious option for your canine companion. It’s perfect for birthdays, adoption days, or any day worth celebrating!

I keep the cake covered in the fridge for up to two days since bacon and eggs spoil quickly. Milo gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us two days.
