The perfect pupcake to leave as a treat for Doggie Santa.

Christmas is only a few days away. And boy, do we have a divine pupcake for you. This year I asked Doggie Santa for a pair of slippers. When I sent Santa the letter, I also included a few of these little red velvet pupcakes.

Since Christmas is only a few days a way, I thought that I’d share this recipe with you. These red velvet pupcakes are the perfect addition to your doggie dessert tray. I even plan to leave a few out for Doggie Santa on Christmas Eve. Hopefully, it’ll do the trick because I really want those slippers.

As always, I want to hear what you think. Are you going to leave these out for Doggie Santa? Were they the perfect addition to your doggie treat tray?
