| The birthday girl |
Emma turned eleven on February 15
th, and we
decided to celebrate with doggie cupcakes and new toys for her and
Duke.

| Cupcakes |
I made the
cupcakes from this recipe, using whole wheat
flour. The recipe says to make six cupcakes
with the batter, but I did seven, and will probably do eight the next
time. The cupcakes are fairly dense and
solid. They smell incredibly good!

After the cupcakes cooled completely I frosted them with a mixture
of plain Greek yogurt and peanut butter.
I didn’t measure. I just stirred
the two together until the consistency seemed good. It took a little over half of an individual
sized Greek yogurt, and about that much peanut butter.
We turned the afternoon into a little party with hats for
Emma and Duke. I also tried to put hats
on the cats, but they prefer to celebrate without hats.
Frankie was the only cat I managed to get a
hat on, and he wore it for about three seconds.
Such is life with cats.

Emma and Duke seemed to really enjoy the cupcakes, and I
think Emma had a happy eleventh birthday.
They certainly looked cute.
