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?!

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.
