Dog cake decorating ideas: Dog bone sprinkles
Just like you would decorate a human cookie, homemade dog treats can be decorated much the same. The traditional stand-by's are jimmies and sprinkles. These little delights come in many shapes and colors.
Use these specially made dog bone shaped sprinkles and listen to your human customers marvel at how cute they are!
There are special colors and shapes for every holiday or occasion. Use them sparingly because they are made from sugar.
Dog Icing Sprinkles
After icing your treats or frosting a dog cake, let a small bit of the dog treat frosting harden and then cut it up into very small pieces. Sprinkle liberally on a dog cake or a dog treat!
Colored sesame seeds
How To Make Colored Sesame Seeds
To make colored sesame seeds, purchase natural toasted sesame seeds and food coloring. You will get a much better result if you use professional food coloring. The little red, green, blue, and yellow bottles you can buy in the grocery store are very weak and usually do not yield a good result. Soak the sesame seeds in water plus food coloring for at least 24 hours. Sesame seeds are particular and will reject some food colorings. This is a trial and error process. Once they are colored, they must be dried. You cannot air dry sesame seeds. They will stay moist and sprout!
It is not easy to dry sesame
seeds without professional equipment. The best option at home is to
spread them thin in an oven safe dish or on a sheet pan and put them in
the oven at 300 degrees. But be sure to watch them closely, stirring
them around often or they will burn.
Luckily, colored sesame
seeds can be purchased retail all packaged and ready to go. The
manufacturers have the proper equipment and their product will thus be
more colorful and uniform than what you can do at home.
Colored Coconut For Dog Cake Decorating Ideas
Like sesame seeds, colored coconut is
another great topping for dog treat icing. Coconut takes color well and
gives a vibrant look to any homemade dog treat.
Like sesame
seeds, the coloring process is much the same. While coconut seems to
take color better than sesame seeds, it is harder to dry as it burns
easily. And the coconut flakes that you buy in the grocery store are
usually sweetened with sugar, thus defeating the reason you may have
opted for them in the first place.
But not to worry, the
marketplace has a solution for that as well. You can purchase colored
organic coconut that contains no sugar. It sprinkles just like sugary
sprinkles but, like sesame seeds, it is healthy.
Edible Glitter - Sugar Free Dog Cake Decorating Ideas
Topping off your dog treat icing with edible glitter gives a dramatic
effect. But, like we have said in other parts of this site, read the
ingredients. Many edible glitters are made from 100% sugar. Again,
that is fine if you are okay with it but there are better options.
There
is an edible glitter that glimmers in the light and comes in many
colors, but is 100% sugar free. It is made from gum arabic, a common,
safe, natural cooking ingredient.
