After looking through recipes online, I arrived at a peanut butter cake. Shaker loves peanut butter. Some of the icing recipes seemed unappetizing, like pureed cottage cheese. I finally landed on a cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Though you must be thinking the ingredients could make any human sick to their stomach, it's natural things we would normally eat like flour, honey, carrots and peanut butter. All in all, it's kind of like a carrot cake with traditional cream cheese icing (+ peanut butter).
Brian kept laughing, saying Shaker will eat ANYTHING, and it really doesn't matter how it tastes. While I recognize this, I wanted it to taste really good for her. Nothing but the best for this baby girl. Or senior citizen...
Fresh out of the oven, Shaker got her first whiff,
and licked her chops. Lookin' pretty good so far!
After the icing was added, she's looking even more interested.
Perhaps not a good idea, but I let her sit at our table.
This is when I learned she's not a fan of carrots.
I plated up a slice and moved her to the floor. She proceeded to pick up the entire piece in her mouth & take it to the living room, on the carpet. I moved her plate to the living room to minimize the crumb mess. However, I have no doubt she'll eat up the entire trail of crumbs.
