1-3. The trio: smash cup, classic round, layer party

Smash cup for puppies — one ramekin, one candle photo, done. Classic round for family parties, pumpkin frosting swirled with a spoon. Double layer for multi-dog houses with name dots in blueberry. All three share one batter so baking stays simple.

Corgi + Golden · Small slice per dog; cake is event food, not dinner.

4-5. Safe swaps: peanut-free + sensitive tummy

Peanut-free apple-oat cake for allergy houses. Extra-pumpkin bland cake for sensitive stomachs. Both frost with plain pumpkin, never cream cheese loads — rich frosting causes more party regrets than any candle.

Allergy + sensitive · No chocolate, no xylitol, no added sugar · Stop on loose stools.
