Sugar knows how to seize an opportunity. Every time I’m cooking in the kitchen, she plants herself right near my feet. Waiting patiently for me to give her a piece of food or hoping I accidently drop it on the floor. The moment she gets her piece of food, she scurries off to the other room to enjoy her snack in peace.
Now, that’s what I call taking an opportunity and running with it. So, this month’s dish is dedicated to seizing the opportunity. This Mocha Mint Patty Pupcake recipe comes straight from our eBook, Yappy Hour: Living in My Love Language with 15 Mocktail Inspired Pupcake Recipes for Your Dog.
ABOUT THE MOCHA MINT PATTY PUPCAKES
This Mocha Mint Patty Pupcake recipe is for the dogs who have a sweet tooth. The carob and banana combination adds the sweet flavor. And the mint gives these pupcakes a refreshing kick. Carob is a sweet and dog-safe alternative to chocolate. It’s also free of the allergenic and addictive effects of caffeine. Carob is low in fat and high in fiber, which can help with your dog’s digestive health. Bananas contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, including fiber, vitamins C and B6, potassium, magnesium, and biotin. Mint is great for your dog’s breath and, in moderation, can have a soothing effect on your dog’s stomach. It’s also rich in vitamin A and C, which supports healthy bones, skin, and vision.

BAKING AFFIRMATION
“I’m fully invested in the present.” Seizing the opportunity is about being present in the moment. It’s about focusing on what you have right in front of you and turning them into an amazing experience. Just like baking these Mocha Mint Patty Pupcakes. I took an opportunity to turn simple ingredients into a luxury treat experience for Sugar. Honestly, Sugar learned the importance of seizing the opportunity when she was a puppy. She realized if she stayed present in the moment and focused, I’d either give her a pupcake, slide her a piece of food, or accidently drop some food on the floor while I was in the kitchen. Either way, she was going to take that opportunity to get a treat and run with it.

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.
