Monthly Dish: Bean Drop Cooler Pupcakes

Let’s be honest.  When it comes to budgeting, there’s only so many expenses you can cut.  So, this month we’re dishing about increasing income through our favorite love language, baking pupcakes.  And we’re kicking things off with highlighting these Bean Drop Cooler Pupcakes.  Check out the recipe in our eBook, Yappy Hour: Living in My Love Language with 15 Mocktail Inspired Pupcakes Recipes for Your Dog.

ABOUT THE BEAN DROP COOLER PUPCAKES

The strawberry vanilla combination is the star flavor for these Bean Drop Cooler Pupcakes.  Strawberries are not only a great summer fruit, but they’re also full of antioxidants, high in fiber, and vitamin C.  The American Kennel Club states that strawberries can slow down the aging process, strengthen your dog’s immune system, help with weight management, and help whiten your dog’s teeth.  Vanilla bean powder adds a soft flavor to your pupcake and produces an amazing aroma for your dog’s nose.  Please note that this recipe includes 100% vanilla bean powder.  DO NOT use vanilla extract for this recipe as the alcohol content can be toxic for your dog.

WHEN TO BAKE THESE BEAN DROP COOLER PUPCAKES

How ‘bout a party?  Dog party that is.  Dog birthday parties, gotcha day celebrations, and even “just because” dog parties are the new normal.  In fact, Pawlicy Advisor released an article that says that people have started bringing their dogs on date night to break the ice and ease awkward silences.  So, dog parties aren’t just a way to celebrate dogs, but it’s also a great way to meet new people as well as reconnect with your friends and family.  These Bean Drop Cooler Pupcakes are a great treat for the dog cake table because they’re small, which makes it easier to place in each dog’s dish.  The strawberry on top also adds some razzle dazzle for your dog’s “party girl” or “party boy” photo.

BAKING BARKFIRMATION & FINANCING YOUR DREAMS

“Baking my dreams come true.”  Following your dreams takes courage, vision, discipline, and, yes, money.  People don’t’ usually mention that part.  Yes, we should work hard towards our dreams and be the amazing people our dogs know we are.  However, creating a plan to finance your dreams is equally important.  So, creating ways to make a little extra income is always a plus.  Baking pupcakes and selling them is a great side hustle to earn some extra income.  In fact, in 2023 people spent $64.4 billion in pet foods and treats in U.S., which means there is plenty of opportunity to create a pupcake side hustle to finance your dreams.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

I started Pupcake Sugar when I was laid off and it helped me rediscover my own creative talents.  Plus, I could save a little money on store bought treats I’d been buying for Sugar too.  Hence, how I turned Sugar’s daily shenanigans into a brand.  I created an illustrated character inspired by her and her love of pupcakes.  Sugar’s character is a “pupcakepreneur” that owns and operates her own pupcakery called Pupcake Sugar.

Sugar shares her stories of life, love, and favorite pupcake recipes.  We invite you to her world.  Sign up for the Pupcake Sugar mailing list to get Sugar’s favorite birthday pupcake recipe to try at home with your dog.  Also, check out the Shop page for more of Sugar’s pupcake recipes and the stories that inspired them.

As with any dog treat, these Bean Drop Cooler Pupcakes should be given to your dog in moderation.  They should not replace or serve as your dog’s primary diet.  Please consult with your veterinarian on your dog’s diet.
