Cracking in Dog Treat Icing

This is a great recipe. I wonder though, how I can prevent the icing from cracking in the oven? I poke holes in the treats to prevent air bubbles and rising, but the icing still cracks. Any suggestions?

Chef's Answer ~ My first suggestion is to review a similar question and answer about air bubbles in homemade dog treats.

Another thought is to make the icing thicker. It's possible that with a few more layers it will not have the tendency to crack. I hope this helps smooth things over! :)

Cream cheese dog treat frosting cracking NEW

When I refrigerate the Cream cheese frosting it gets cracks. Is there anyway to prevent this?

Chef's Comments ~ The icing has a tendency to crack when it dries. So, to slow this process, be sure to cover them very well before refrigerating.

If you are giving the decorated treats as gifts, you may want to frost them at the last minute to ensure a smooth treat.

Even if there's a crack or two, I'm sure your intended recipient (the sweet dog) will love the homemade dog treats! :)
