    I made these with a substitution! I used unsweetened applesauce instead of oil. They were very moist and the puppies loved them! Even a very picky one ate hers! Two other things I will do differently next time, 1. freeze the extra pupcakes and 2. Don’t frost them until right before serving. The frosting dried out really quickly. I had them covered and the frosting dried out over night.

    I love the pictures. I’m almost out of the last batch of treats. I’m going to incorporate some of these flavors into the next batch.
