I don’t know about you guys, but cupcakes are one of my favourite things ever.

I’m also pretty darn keen on puppies, so when the Vancouver SPCA announced that they were hosting a National Cupcake Day fundraiser, I was like:

Well, that’s a great idea. Who doesn’t want to buy a cupcake? And what kind of monster doesn’t want to buy a cupcake to help puppies?! You’d have to be like Cruella DeVille next-level evil. This is an idea that can only be AWESOME.

For my part, I pledge to eat as many cupcakes as I can. Oh…and I guess I should do my part by baking a few dozen too, eh? I mean, it’s kind of my thing, right? So, to get crazy inspired and get my dog lovin’, cupcake cravin’, fancy pants show off baker’s heart groovin’ I’ve rounded up a handful of the interwebs CUTEST Dog Lover Cupcakes for people of all skill levels. Pick something you love, bake up a bunch and help raise funds for pets in need.

You can RSVP “heck yeah” to all the cupcakey fun on the National Cupcake Day website.

Now let’s get down to business. How CUTE are all these dog cupcakes?! 

Puppy Dog Cupcakes
from Because I Can Crafts

I am IN LOVE with the adorable puppy cupcakes. The marshmallow nose makes these look larger than life and I adore that the tongues are made of flattened Starburst and not yucky fondant.

Vanilla Dog Cupcakes with Mocha Frosting

I am a huge fan of everything sisters, Julie and Lisa do and these cupcakes are no exception. The addition of candy eyes and bows are perfection. Not just a food site, check out their Pumpkin Spice Scrub (it’s heavenly) and their new book coming later this Spring.

These are all so pretty. I love cupcakes too. There used to be a place that sold them back when cupcakes were all the rage, but it's gone now. There are still shops, but not near where I live and work so I'm deprived. Far be it for me to bake them myself. That's just crazy talk. I just figured out the dehydrator.

Such cute cupcakes. I doubt I could make them so fancy with just my paws. I made cupcakes today. They are yummy, but not nearly as fancy!
