In the wonderful world of blogging and social media I’ve met some of the honest to goodness BEST people.  Whether there’s a connection through the love of food or animals (or both!) I’ve got to know quite a few people well enough that I now consider them friends.  Even though there’s often miles, oceans and continents separating us.

When I’m making treats for Ms Meg I normally make lots – some for the freezer and some for our doggie friends.

But when that doggie friend is an ocean away, just the recipe has to make do!

The lovely Three Ladies of Lex were celebrating a birthday and wanted to adapt one of our normal recipes so we could virtually join in the celebrations – told you, the BEST people.  I’ve had this Peanut Butter and Apple Pupcakes recipe on the back burners for a while as I’d just not got round to sorting out a frosting for it.  Yep it’s gilding the lily.  Nope Meg doesn’t care if they’re frosted or not.  Yep I decorated them 100% completely for me, not for her.  Yep, every dog should wear a party hat no matter whose birthday it is.

Aren’t they just the most adorable?!  We have ..

Lexi: sorority sister cavvie and birthday girl

Layla: middle child GSD

Minnie: blind ride or die toy poodle

Since these photos were taken the beautiful Kween Minnie has sadly passed.  Her personality shone through the love of her dog momma.  She was THE sassiest tiny button of a thing and the world went a little darker the day she left it.  Another sister has joined their fold though, Keisha.  A rescue from a puppy farm who has blossomed into this hilarious little unicorn since finding such a loving family.  The BEST dogs and the BEST people.

And lucky Brodie got some very special Valentine’s Day treats from his super special mum – he is SUCH a handsome boy 🙂

This recipe makes LOTS of mini pupcakes.  Meg is only a little dog even if she does have the appetite of a St Bernard.  So you can make mini pupcakes or normal sized pupcakes, the choice is yours.  Because we had so many though, Meg reluctantly agreed to share with another Lovely Lexi …

LOOK AT THAT CHIN!!  Lady Lexi aka Smoosh Face / Marshmallow Girl.  Love love LOVE her!
