Somewhere between bread and breakfast, the menu has a category called Dog Cakes. It has two items in it. One of them is an eight-inch bone-shaped cake. People ask whether it is a typo. It is not.

Why a bakery bothers

Because a dog birthday is a real occasion in a real household, and the alternative is a human cake that the dog should not be eating. Two lines on a menu is a small price for not having that conversation at the counter.

It is on the same menus as everything else

The category appears on both the dine-in and the to-go menu, which is to say you can order one the same way you order anything else here — at the counter, or online, ahead of time.

It is also a small illustration of something this whole site is built on: what you see here is what the account holds. Nobody curated the dog cakes out of the published menu to make the bakery look more serious. They are on the board, so they are on the page.
