Muffin tins are perfect for making small fish or meat cakes for your cat.
In this article, you’ll find two recipes for baking cakes for cats with ease. The first cat cake is ideal for kitties who prefer fish. The other is perfect for meat lovers.
All you need to make delicious cat cakes yourself is an oven and a muffin tin. You can find the ingredients for these tasty treats in any supermarket.
Cat cakes that you bake yourself offer plenty of benefits: fortunately, making cat birthday cakes is so simple that even complete beginners can manage it. What’s more, you’ll know exactly what goes into a cake for your cat. This means you can take your cat’s allergies into account.
Note: For recipes containing dairy products such as butter or cheese, it’s best to use lactose-free options. Many cats are unable to tolerate lactose (milk sugar).
Another plus point of baking cakes for cats yourself is that these cat birthday cakes contain only wholesome ingredients. Artificial colourings and preservatives are left out.
Would you like to give your cat another little treat alongside the cake? Then you’re sure to find the perfect gift for your cat in our Online shop:
Let’s start with a recipe for the fish-loving feline foodies among us.
Before you begin, preheat the oven to 180°C.
Next, place the tuna in a bowl and mash it finely with a fork. Then mix in the cream cheese and the egg.
Now place the paper cases into the muffin tin, spoon in the mixture and put everything into the oven. Bake for around 15 minutes.
Before serving the little cat cake, simply remove the paper case. Also make sure the cake has cooled completely before giving it to your cat.
Tip: Instead of a candle, you can place a cat stick on top of the little cake.
If your four-legged birthday pet is more on team meat, they’ll love a cake made from liver and minced beef.
First, preheat the oven to 160°C.
Then wash the beef liver, pat it dry and cut it into very small pieces.
Next, combine the chopped beef liver with the minced beef, egg yolk and water. Finally, finely chop the basil sprigs and mix them in as well.
Spoon the mixture into the cases or muffin tin and place in the oven (middle shelf). Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes.
The same applies here: allow the cat birthday cake to cool completely to avoid any risk of a burnt little nose.
