This week at From Scratch Pet Bakery, we’ve been busy creating a unique gingerbread dog house.  The gauntlet had been thrown down by Crystal, owner of The Pampered Pet Boutique in Shipshewana, Indiana, for Yoder’s Department Store Annual Gingerbread House Contest.

We decided that nothing less than a truly edible dog house, (one that real dogs could eat), would do.  No candy canes or gum drops here.  So we utilized healthy, natural, human-grade ingredients to assemble our dog house masterpiece.  From its tiled roof to its low prowling kitties, to the beautiful poinsettia (also made from dog-safe ingredients) hanging over the arched doorway, it’s a house that any dog would feel good about eating.  See it now on display at Yoder’s Department Store in Shipshewana, Indiana, until January 5th, 2009.
