Doggie Cakes – Dog Bakery and Boutique was the subject of an article from Examiner.com today. We met the author, Laura Kepner, at the January – Third Friday Music Series in Safety Harbor, when she visited our vendor booth. She specializes in articles about pets and animals for this source. An excerpt from the much appreciated article is below.

We had an old family film digitized and posted it onto our YouTube site. It’s from the early 1970’s in West Milford, NJ and has footage of me (Trina Messano) and my first dog Tuffy – a Collie. You can also see my Dad, Alfonso Messano and his garden. My brother Dominick Messano (with the dark hair) is playing with his friend Joey.

Cosmo found a comfortable spot on top of some donut beds at Doggie Cakes – Dog Bakery and Boutique. A leaning tower of four beds to be exact. As we are trying to sell these, we quickly took this photo and then showed him where his own bed was. He was too funny today as he did this twice – both effortlessly and with great pride.
We are guessing that one more donut would put the top of the pile out of his reach. The beds are by Room Candy and sell for $35.89 in our store.
