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.
