Bruno and Max celebrated their first birthday at their home with a chicken liver-oats-cheese cake, a mutton carrot cake and ‘pupcakes’ in different flavours. “I wanted them to enjoy the treats with their street pal Brownie,” says Jessie Priya, who adopted both rescue dogs, adding that she chose “doggie face cakes instead of the regular bone-and paw-shaped ones.“
Jessie is one of the many loyal customers who order from Rukmeni Sarathkumar’s Paws N Tails-The Pet Bakery in Chennai. “Once a client had asked for a Captain America pet cake. It was the theme for his son’s birthday and he wanted a cake with the same theme for their pet so that they could cut the cakes together. I made a chicken-carrot cake with the colours of Captain America’s shield,” says Rukmeni, who started her pet pâtisserie a year ago.
