Well, guess what we're doing today?
What you think Miss Memphis?
You guys! Today, we are making strawberry carob mug cakes.
So, today's video is actually being sponsored by our friends at Weston Willow.
Look it! You're on a mug!
Bless you! Bless you!
Twice?
Look! Kira's on a mug too!
Bless you again!
Are you down there giving facial explosions?
You okay? She's like, yeah I'm okay.
I got some flour up my nose.
So, if you guys want to get your own mugs
from Weston Willow, there will be some links
down in the video description below.
You can use the code SNOWDOGS for 20% off.
The mugs do come in two different sizes
as you see here.
There is an 11 ounce and a 15 ounce.
Eleanor got the 11 ounce cause she's
technically the youngest, even though she's not the smallest.
But what we're gonna do is
we're gonna use these to make mug cakes
because these mugs are microwave safe.
They are also dishwasher safe.
Is that you? Do we want to make
a cake inside a mug for Valentine's Day?
She's like, yeah let's do it.
Let's eat all the things.
Alright! First ingredient.
One of the dogs favorites.
We are going to take two tablespoons of
peanut butter and we're gonna put it in this dish
and we're gonna microwave it for about
30 seconds. We're basically heating this up
because it makes it easier to mix.
The girls are like, oh man.
It's peanut butter!
Hi Memphis!
There's peanut butter up here. Don't worry, you're gonna get a bite.
She's like, mama come check
this out and see what's going on here.
I would like to eat some of the
peanut butter please.
Two tablespoons of peanut butter again.
We're gonna throw it in the microwave.
Oh man!
You get some!
And you get some!
Those little tongues!
And you get some!
You have a long tongue.
They're like, this is the best part.
Just wait, we're making cakes.
Now there's warm peanut butter.
The next thing we will be adding, and part of the reason
these are strawberry, we're actually going to
add strawberry honey.
Now, if you don't have strawberry honey
you can just use regular honey.
We're gonna add about half of a tablespoon.
Oh my goodness!
We're just gonna guess. About half a tablespoon.
These dogs are like, wait, there's honey
with strawberries?
Oh, look at it!
It's like a little passing fire.
She's like, oh, this is delicious.
You're not gonna get much.
And don't worry you guys, this is specifically
for dog treats. We have our own.
Memphis is like, wait, what?
It's strawberry honey?
She's like, I don't know about that.
You really like that, huh?
She's like, that's so good. You don't need that much of it.
Alright, so that's gonna be your treat.
Kira's like, oh, what's next?
Trust me, you don't want to try this.
Next, we're going to be adding four tablespoons
of whole wheat flour
or whatever flour you choose.
Eleanor's like, that looks so good.
What do you think Memphis?
She's like, we're making cakes.
I'm super excited. I'm excited we're making cakes.
Do you think you get more?
She's like, yeah, I think I get more.
Is there more? I should get more.
You can't eat that either.
That would be gross.
This has to make your cake rise.
Alright, so the next ingredient is
a half a teaspoon of baking powder.
This is what's gonna make...
This is what's gonna make the cake rise.
You don't want to eat that for real.
Baking powder raw would not be good.
Put that in there.
And then...
Our favorite ingredient.
We need one teaspoon of...
Say it with me now, friends.
Carob powder.
Not chocolate.
Carob.
One teaspoon of that.
She's like, I would eat that carob.
It's so good.
Memphis is like, maybe I would like to eat that a little bit.
I think that sounds really good.
Again, this.
This is carob.
Not chocolate.
And the last ingredient
for the cake part is
four tablespoons of water.
Eleanor's eyes.
She's like, whoa.
Can I have some of that water?
It's the best water I ever had.
She was like, excuse me?
Can I have some water, please?
Memphis would like to try some water as well.
Memphis is like, can I have some?
Maybe not.
Alright, now we're gonna mix this all together.
So now,
we're gonna take our baking spray
and we're gonna spray the inside of this mug
so that the mug cake will release.
Cause dogs can't eat with a spoon.
We're gonna make sure we can take it out of there.
Alright, pour it in.
We're doing Kira's mug
first. Again, links down in
the video description below if you guys want to get
some of these really cute mugs from
Weston Willow.
It looks like chocolate cake.
Say guys, it's not chocolate, it's carob.
Not chocolate, carob.
Look how cute your face is right now.
Memphis is like, I'm so happy.
Do you get to try the dough? Oh my goodness.
Who else wants to try just a little bit?
Eleanor's like, me, I would please like to try a little bit.
Alright, we gotta
give Memphis some.
She's back there smiling. She's like,
oh, thanks.
This is delicious.
Batter's in the mug. We're gonna pop this
in the microwave for about
90 seconds to two minutes.
So after 90 seconds
to two minutes, it's fluffed up
like a cake. It's going to be hot.
We're gonna go ahead and dump it out of this mug
to let it cool. So we're doing this with a plate
on top. We're just gonna flip that mug right over
and that cake should release
right out of there. There it is.
Now we're gonna let it cool.
While it's cooling, we're gonna make
two more mug cakes. Kira's like, I would
like a bite. Now we have
three mug cakes.
But, we're not done.
Now what's a cake without
frosting? Excuse me ma'am,
you cannot eat all the strawberries.
But I could try. We have some
whipped cream cheese and some strawberries.
We're gonna squish them
and turn this to a nice pretty pink
color. Think them girls would eat strawberries?
I think they would. Wanna give her a bite?
What's on your chin? Did you get
chocolate on you? Oh wait, it's carob.
Not chocolate. You get some peanut butter.
She likes
the strawberries. Alright, let's see what Eleanor thinks.
Watch, this is hilarious.
She's like,
I don't think I...
Ma'am!
She's like, I got this old strawberry
and I ate it.
Well, that one
likes strawberries. Yeah, I know you do.
I saw you take a bite. What about you?
Memphis is like, um... Ew, no I don't.
Okay, well let's try something
Memphis. Alright, how about with some dip?
That's how Shelby
would... Oh gee, weird. You put some cream
cheese on a strawberry, Memphis will eat it.
Eleanor's like,
I would totally nibble. Maybe
I would nibble it. The littlest
tiniest nibbles. You didn't try it.
I was just saying, you barely took any.
No, thank you.
Kira's like, I would totally take another one.
Just give me the whole thing. Okay, we're gonna give it
to Eleanor with a little bit of dip and see
what she thinks. It's here in my hand.
Do you want it with the dip? She's like, no I just like to dip
some of it.
You don't want it? You don't like strawberries
by themselves? Alright.
Oh, that little nibble.
Are you sure? No.
No, thank you.
Maybe I'll try again.
No, thank you. It's not my
favorite thing. Okay. So we're actually gonna
take our garlic press. We're gonna cut the top of the
strawberry off and we're gonna squish a couple of them
into our whipped cream cheese
to turn it nice and pink. We're gonna
squish the strawberry juice
right in there. It'll be perfect.
Would you eat like a piece
of strawberry?
So you eat it when it's cut up?
How about you?
She's gonna spit it out.
There, made it pretty pink
with some strawberry juice.
So we now have our
three mug cakes and some frosting
which Memphis is gonna taste test
for us. We're gonna go ahead and frost
these and make them look adorable.
Alright, you can see the excitement
in all three.
We have made
strawberry carob
mug cakes for dogs
and now, they're gonna try them.
Alright Memphis, you're first
and because you're an inhaler
I cut it up into little pieces for you.
That is why we cut it up
for you. Is that a win?
The other dogs are like,
where's ours? We're taking turns girls.
We're taking turns. That smells good.
Good stuff. You wanna try it?
Take a piece over there.
Give it a try.
It's carob. Yeah, it's very carob.
Memphis likes it.
Memphis, you have some
frosting on your face. You guys see it underneath?
A little bit of frosting
on your face there sweetheart.
It's Kira's turn. We're gonna let her
try it without cutting it up.
We might have to cut it
up for her. Can you chew it?
Can you chew it there? She's like, and it's gone.
She'll chew it over there. She's like, I'll chew it over here
instead of on this plate.
Just make a mess. That's perfectly fine.
Nothing wrong with that. Kira,
you got pink frosting all
over the rug. She's like, I don't care. I'll clean it up.
Thanks ma. Alright, it's Eleanor's
turn. Ready?
Leave it.
Many hours later.
Here, I'll put it on the rug.
Oh, there you go.
Is it good? You are the
daintiest eater we've ever had.
Okay, maybe Shelby was
pretty dainty too. Nibble, nibble,
nibble, nibble, nibble. Hey, but she ate
the strawberry.
Is that a win? She's like,
you know what guys? This is pretty good. I'm just gonna
take forever to eat it. That's okay. You take
your time. Don't inhale it like everybody else does.
You still have frosting
and stuff all over your lips.
So, there you
have it you guys. Strawberry
Carob Mug Cakes
for dogs. Again, thank you to our amazing
friends at Weston Willow for sending
us these adorable mugs with the dogs
on them. If you guys would like to get your own, there

They're like, we would like to eat all of the
Creamy Creamy Cheesy Cheesy please.
