My son’s favorite show is Paw Patrol, so I knew he was going to want a Paw Patrol birthday party this year. There are so many fun and creative things you can do with a Paw Patrol birthday theme and I knew I wanted to get super creative with the desserts. I searched and found some great Paw Patrol cupcake ideas and this particular idea was my favorite because it seemed easy to do. The show is all about the adorable, adventurous puppies, so I made these Paw Patrol Puppy Print Cupcakes. I love how they turned out and the kids thought they were the cutest things!

Planning children’s parties can be a lot of work, so I always shop online for what I need. Target.com is definitely my one-stop-shop for everything I need when planning a party or event. American Greetings has a cute line of Paw Patrol party supplies at Target, so I went to Target.com to buy everything I needed for the party and the Paw Patrol cupcakes.

My son loves chocolate, so I knew I had to whip up a batch of delicious homemade chocolate cupcakes for my DIY Paw Patrol cupcakes. These moist chocolate cupcakes are full of flavor and will melt in your mouth. The Paw Patrol cupcake toppers were simply chocolate sandwich cookies and chocolate candies placed to form a puppy paw print. The kids and their parents absolutely loved them!
