Prepare three 8-inch round vanilla cakes according to your preferred recipe.

Level off the tops of the baked cakes to make them flat.

Use a 2-inch round cutter to press into the center of one cake to create a hole.

Use a knife to dig out a half circle from the cake to create a space for the cake pop mixture.

Fill the hole with the chocolate cake pop mixture, packing it in tightly.

Repeat the process with the second cake layer, ensuring both holes align when stacked.

Use vanilla buttercream to attach the two cake layers together, spreading a thin layer in between.

Cut out a larger circle from the top layer using an 11 cm cutter to create a trough for the paw print.

Fill the trough with more cake pop mixture, shaping it as needed.

Use an 8 cm cutter to create a smaller divot on the top layer for the final paw print detail.

Stack the layers carefully, ensuring alignment and stability.

Carve the sides of the stacked cake to create a sloped shape resembling a dog food bowl.

Use a larger cutter to carve out a small recess for the cereal to represent dog food.
