Best Party With Your Pup: Morty’s Munchies
Birthdays are big for us, so why can’t we go all out for our dogs too? Kylie, a rescue dog, celebrated her 1st birthday with an Instagram-able glitter backdrop, gold banner and a purple-frosted cake from Morty’s Munchies. The Akron dog bakery helps pet parents’ mark their furry friends’ special days with party-worthy cakes. “People love to celebrate their pets,” says owner and baker Nicole Dupont.
The cakes make pooches’ bellies happy with natural, human-grade ingredients that are pet safe. Each has a brown rice flour and oat flour base, applesauce, peanut butter and cookies — with Greek yogurt frosting on top. “It’s not a ton of bad stuff for dogs,” Dupont says. “They are fresh. I make the applesauce, so there’s no added salt or sugar.” Customize the treat with toasted coconut shavings, nitrate-free bacon or more. Go extravagant by completely covering it in frosting, made with a yogurt powder and tapioca powder base, and adding a personalized message.
“They want to let their dogs know they appreciate them,” Dupont says. “The cake is that opportunity for people to sit down, take pictures — they can be indulgent or have fun.”1
