These Adorable Dog Cupcakes are the Sweetest Thing You’ll See Today

Published by

March 23rd is National Puppy Day, and we are SO ready to celebrate–because if there’s anything we love over here at Lulus, aside from fashion, it’s puppies. These cuddly floofers bring so much happiness and unconditional love into the world, it’s only right there’s (finally) a day designated to honor them. How are we observing this very important holiday? With cupcakes, of course: adorable, almost-too-cute-to-eat dog cupcakes made by baker and Instagram dessert genius, Samantha Chiu (seriously, check her out here).

You thought we were kidding about the genius part, didn’t you? Look at those little pupper faces!

If you don’t have a baby dog of your own to snuggle this National Puppy Day, a dog cupcake might just be the next best thing. We certainly think so–because if there’s anything we love as much as fashion and puppies, it’s sweet treats.

Now, we know the average sweets enthusiast might not have Samantha’s level of baking expertise, which is why she’s sharing her simple cupcake recipe with us ahead–so feel free to make these confections, minus the canines. If your cake decorating skills are advanced and you want to try creating your own pack of pup-cakes, we’ve included the full dog cupcake instructions below.
