Perfect for the pumpkin spice lover in all of us.
It’s here! Fall; October; Boot Season, which basically means one thing…
‘Tis the season for EVERYTHING PUMPKIN.
There’s no better way to celebrate pumpkin season than with this yummy Starbucks Pumpkin Latte inspired pupcake. It’s the perfect treat to add to your “Everything Pumpkin” list. Since I’m already a ball of energy and caffeine is an absolute no-no in any doggie diet, my mommy nixed the latte portion from the recipe. Which means…
She’s included even more pumpkin and spice to drive your little doggie taste buds wild. So, we’d love to hear what you’ve thought of the recipe.
Did this tasty pumpkin treat earn a permanent spot on your “Everything Pumpkin” list?
