Serve them up in your “barkery” (bakery) and be sure to have plenty of doggie bags on hands for guests who want to take their “pupcake” home.

From Manu’s Menu
Another easy paw print cupcake idea includes baking and frosting cupcakes (although store bought would work too) and using marshmallows to create the paw topper.
Simply frost your cupcakes with chocolate or colored frosting.
Add half of a large marshmallow and 3 mini marshmallows to create your edible paw topper.

9. Puppy Chow Favor
From Casa Natalia via Catch My Party
While you’d never send guests home with real puppy chow, why not get creative and put together favors inspired by it? Add a cute topper to a clear favor bag and add a mixture of cereal that resembles puppy chow (Kix, Cocoa Puffs and Peanut Butter Puffs works well). You could even package it in a real dog dish (available at most dollar stores).
10. Fetch Sticks
From Sally M via Catch My Party
Planning for a child’s party means putting on your thinking cap and drumming up a little creativity. When it comes to creating a themed dessert table, a few simple details can go a long way in reinforcing the birthday party theme. Adding theme coordinating treats to your Paw Patrol snack table is a fun idea! Label a jar of pretzel rods with “fetch sticks.”
11. Paw Print Balloons and Runner
From Crowning Details
Whether you use paw print wrapping paper as a table runner or use a black permanent marker to DIY your own runner and paw print balloons, we think they add such a fun touch to a Paw Patrol birthday party. Add these ideas to your list of budget-friendly PAW Patrol birthday party ideas. If you choose to go the wrapping paper route, or make your own paw print on white butcher paper, it makes cleanup a cinch with a disposable runner that you spent very little to make.

12. DIY Cardboard Doghouse
With a few simple and inexpensive materials, you can DIY your own cardboard doghouse for your Paw Patrol Party using a recycled refrigerator box! It makes for a great photo op, party prop and activity. Kids will love imaginary playtime in this doghouse! You will love how budget-friendly this party decoration is.
13. Puppy Party Dessert Table (“Barkery”)
From WH Hostess via Spaceships and Laser Beams
Instead of a bakery themed dessert table, create a “barkery” with dog-inspired treats for guests to enjoy. Party guests can fill up doggie bags with treats displayed on a bakery style counter. Printable elements, such as the personalized backdrop, tags, and toppers can help coordinate the look.
14. Paw Print Refreshment Table Backdrop
From Memories are Sweet via Catch My Party
When it comes to great party decorations, they don’t have to be expensive. You can make an adorable paw print backdrop like this one using black cardboard paw print cutouts adhered to white fabric.

16. Pup-eroni Pizza
From Ice Cream off Paper Plates via Kara’s Party Ideas
Create some excitement around your party eats and treats by giving them fun theme appropriate names. We love how pepperoni pizza was changed to “pup-eroni pizza” with a cute food label.
