Pupcakes

Love of cupcakes runs in the Fujii Family.  Our wonderful puppyson, Taiko, had his first taste of a pupcake by Barkn Belly Bakery out of Morgan Hill.  My husband volunteered at Bark in the Park as a part of the Friends of Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority.  It was a great event, and the best part?  Taiko was invited and had a great time!  He met new friends, swam in/sat in a pool, and got lots of treats and attention!

One of the vendors there was Barkn Belly, and Mike stopped by and grabbed three beautiful pupcakes for our Taiko.  They were so nice to look at, and more importantly, Taiko enjoyed every bite.

Seriously - I wanted to eat them.  I probably could have, but Taiks would have been mad.  The first one had a blackberry puree looking frosting and a dried berry to top it off. 

This one had BACON on the top.  Enough said.  Oh, and pink frosting :)  Yes, I know my dog is a boy, but he spends enough time with mom that he is very in touch with his feminine side.

We think this one has a dried mushroom on the top, but it also looks like an apricot.  Whatever - it's awesome and elegant.

 When Taiko knew he was getting a special treat, his attention was rapt.  He watched Dad unwrap it little by little with drool gathering at the corners of his mouth.

It was all good from thereon.  What follows are some action shots.  When Taiko eats a new treat (one that he's never had before), he often holds it in his mouth for a few seconds.  Then drops it.  Stares at it. Licks it.  Eats it.  Repeat process.  Takes a while...

Hmmmm...not sure 

What IS this?

Happy puppy :)
