Local Pet Café Makes Dog-Inspired Cakes Along With Other Treats

Dog‑themed cafés and bakeries continue to be popular in the Philippines in 2025, especially for pet owners who want to treat their fur babies to something cute and pet‑friendly. One of the well-known spots is Barkin' Blends Dog Café, a café and barkery concept that remains a favourite among pet parents.

Dog cakes and other pastries

What used to be a café where customers could relax with dogs and enjoy light meals has expanded to include a “barkery” that offers pet‑friendly treats. Barkin’ Blends is known for dog‑inspired sweets like minimalist cakes, paw-shaped treats, “pupcakes”, and custom cakes designed to resemble your pet.

Many pet bakeries around the country also make dog cakes and cupcakes that are safe for dogs — from basic bone and paw cakes to custom designs with your dog’s likeness.

Check out some of their designs below.

Most cakes and treats require pre‑orders, especially for custom face-topper or themed cakes. Customers typically:

• Send a clear photo of their dog for personalised designs

• Pre-order at least 1–3 days in advance for pick-up or delivery

• Use delivery services or courier apps for convenience in urban areas

Pet‑friendly cake trends in 2025

Pet-focused food items have evolved beyond basic treats. Dog cafés and barkeries across Metro Manila and nearby cities now offer:

• Custom dog cakes with 3D toppers that resemble your pet

• Paw-shaped cakes and sweets

• Pet-safe cupcakes or “pupcakes”

• Healthy baked goodies made with pet-friendly ingredients

These trends reflect the growing interest among pet parents in celebrating their fur babies’ birthdays and milestones with personalised treats and fun experiences.

Before you order

Always check ingredient lists and ask about pet-safe recipes, especially if your dog has allergies or dietary restrictions. While most pet cafés and barkeries use natural, pet-friendly ingredients, it’s still best to confirm before giving treats to your dog.
