Birthday Cake For Your Cat!
3 simple ingredients are all you needed for a special birthday treat filled with your cat’s favorite flavors!
Last weekend, we celebrated our cat Coco’s 3-year adoption anniversary, which we lovingly refer to as her birthday.
In addition to giving her the gift of a catnip-filled ball with a bright magenta fake feather attached, and briefly adorning her with a birthday scarf for the occasion, we also served this special treat.
Is making a birthday cake for your cat a bit excessive? Not in this house.
I mean, is it even a pet party without a treat?
After all, as Julia Child famously said, ” A party without cake is just a meeting.”
Ingredients for a Cat’s Birthday Cake
You will need:
- 1 cup chunky wet cat food, drained and patted dry
- 1/4 cup cooked sweet potato, pureed
- 1/4 cup prepared mashed potatoes, plain and creamy-style
Special equipment
- Unless you want to shape it by hand, you will need some sort of mold for the cake. I used a 2-inch biscuit cutter. A cookie-cutter will also work; just make sure it’s tall enough to hold the entire treat mixture.
- If you want to get fancy with the mashed potato frosting, you will also need a pastry bag and decorator tip.
How to Make a Birthday Cake For Your Cat
STEP ONE: Into a medium-size mixing bowl, add the drained wet food.
STEP TWO: Stir in the pureed sweet potato until fully incorporated.
STEP THREE: Set a biscuit or cookie cutter onto a serving plate. Scoop the entire treat mixture into the mold, pressing down with your hands to ensure a tight fit. Carefully remove the cutter.
STEP FOUR: Fill a pastry bag with your desired amount of mashed potatoes, attach a decorator tip, and frost the cake.
STEP FIVE: Sing Happy Birthday and serve!
Storage
This birthday cake is a large portion for any cat to eat in one sitting. Leftovers can be stored, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, in the refrigerator.

This is so fun! I don’t have a cat, but I sent this to my sister and her cat loved it!

Oh my gosh how adorable, I can’t wait to serve this to my Ginger Rogers. She’s a rescue so I don’t know exactly when her birthday is but I celebrate it on the anniversary of the day I adopted her.

Your cat’s name is simply adorable! And I think if the real Ginger Rodgers was still with us, she’d be flattered!

Our girl Reggi was Over the moon with delight!
Her 1st birthday was last weekend. I made this super easy adorable Cat Birthday Cake and with mashed potato frosting on top, using a swirl tip on my frosting bag and I put a couple lines of plant based cat safe color down the inside of frosting bag as well, so the frosting had a highlight of purple and pink swirled in. We topped It off with an edible cat safe faux candle. It was beautiful! Reggi has been with us since she was 2 days old and Reggi’s 1st Birthday was perfect. 👨👩👧😽💟🎉🎂
Thank you from,
Reggi Grace & Family💝

Making this right now for my 14 year old boy. I don’t know his birthday because I saw him get hit by a car as he was last in line following his siblings and his mama running across the street. I ran over because I didn’t think he was no longer with us and I was trying to move him off of the road to give him some dignity, but as I grabbed him by the rough of the neck, I quickly discovered he was still alive. And feral! But 14 years later he still with us and I adore him each day. So I celebrate his birthday today along with his dog sister ( her birthday is today for sure!) because I found him in the early spring time when he was just a wee one! Since I don’t have sweet potato, I’m going to use pumpkin which I’m sure will be just fine. I think I’ll put some food coloring in the mashed potatoes as well! I’ll let you know how much he loved it!

Awww… Happy Birthday to your sweet babies! Thank you so much for sharing your story. 🥰 I think pumpkin sounds like an excellent substitute for the sweet potato. I hope they enjoy their special treat!
