I love birthdays, holidays or any festive occasion. It doesn’t take much for me to pull out my party planning hat and put together a fun shindig.

I am a big sucker for themed celebrations and have instilled this love for fun in my kiddos as well. So when Jeb realized that our puppy Bluto was turning 2, he decided that we needed to throw a party! I certainly wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity for a little fun.

I put on my thinking cap and looked around my kitchen for some inspiration. I spotted a cake mix, some ice cream cones and a box of Welch’s Fruit Rolls and came up with an awesome treat…Dog-cone Good Cupcakes. These ice cream cone cupcakes are decorated to look like your favorite four-legged friends. They are easy to customize, fun to make, and taste amazing!

Pull out a box of Welch’s Fruit Snacks and you can create pups with small ears, big ears, pointy ears, floppy ears or whatever makes you smile. Add a dangling tongue and you have a pup that looks ready to offer up lots of slobbery kisses.

We even decided that our puppies needed a collar and leash as a little extra flair. I mean, if you are going to celebrate you might as well go all out!

These would be amazing birthday treats. You can even personalize the cupcakes to make the party a little more exciting. Just grab a food-safe marker and each pup can be given a name so the kids will know which one is theirs!

With a box of Welch’s Fruit Rolls, the decorating options are endless. They make parties a little more fun and have the delicious taste the whole family loves.

Welch’s Fruit Rolls have 100% daily value of Vitamin C and 25% daily value of Vitamins A & E. You can feel good having them available for your family…after all, fruit is the first ingredient!
