Overview
These days, with doggos treated more like children and/or celebrities, there are plenty of human businesses popping up just for the four-legged. There are dog friendly bars and venues with special treats for your pal — think Cuckoo Callay's pupachinos and Wayward Brewing's handmade beer biscuits. Not to mention puppy speed dating, puppy sharing and puppy delivery services. We'll refrain from going on.
Woof Gateaux is the latest in a line of pup-based boutique businesses who cater to all our indulgent dog parent whims. It is a premium dog bakery crafting indulgent cakes and treats for your prized pooch. Their cakes look like sweet frosted dreams but they are definitely made for dogs and not people.
They come in either raw or cooked form, made with mince (lean kangaroo, turkey or veal) with bases made from carrot and honey. And that creamy frosting? Potato and peanut butter — which sounds pretty great, if any bakers out there want to do the same for human cakes. They also offer a range of customisable cupcakes, doughnuts, and snackables which are very Instagrammable and rival even Grumpy Donuts in prettiness.
The chef at the helm, Jason Blachowski, has over 25 years' experience making people food so you can be sure your pupper is in for a gourmet treat — one that they will probably snarf up in ten seconds flat without even savouring the flavours, but c'est la vie.
You know, the future that sci-fi promised us was a lot more hovercrafty. But this version, awash with gourmet options for dog treats, ain't bad either.
