Cake Hounds (Korean: 케이크 들개, keiku dulgae, "Wild Cake Dog") are a species of Cake Monster exclusive to Cookie Run: Kingdom and released at its launch. They serve as both non-playable characters and Enemies in differing situations. Occasionally, they make minor appearances in Story segments.
In battle, they are tanks for back-liner enemies in most Episodes.
Cake Hounds behave in a way very similar to real-life puppies, being adorably enthusiastic and full of energy. However, being both wild animals and Cake Monsters, they can also be overly feisty and violent. Though mostly appearing in the wild, they can rarely appear as pet-like companions to Cookies. Cake Hounds tend to be highly resilient, loyal, and almost blindly obedient, generally traveling in groups in the wild and attaching themselves firmly to individuals they trust in domestication.
Cake Hounds have sugar icing fur and a tongue that is nearly always sticking out of their mouths. It is unclear whether the eyes of Cake Hounds being placed on a single side of their triangular bodies is simply a stylistic choice or if this is a deliberate feature of their anatomy. It is possible that Cake Hounds are young versions of Cake Wolves, as they travel alongside the Wolves particularly often as well as act and appear similarly to them (albeit in a more youthful, naïve manner).

The original Cake Hound, this variety has white frosting with strawberry ears and is based on sliced cream cakes. Cream Cake Hounds can be found all throughout the game.
Choco Cake Hound[]
This Hound is simply the chocolate version of the original Cake Hound with chocolate frosting topped by the same strawberry ears. Choco Cake Hounds can be found wherever Cream Cake Hounds appear.
Pomegranate Cake Hound[]
A pomegranate-themed variation of Cake Hound. This type has crimson frosting with four pomegranate seeds as ears and may be based on sliced pomegranate mousse cakes. Pomegranate Cake Hounds can primarily be found in Tainted Forest and Ancient Altar.
This sickly-grey Cake Hound variation Cake Hounds can apply Injury and has black licorice sludge slathered over its upper half with bright blue pupils. Licorice Cake Hounds can be found primarily in Snow on the Black Wall.
The Crowned Cake Hound is an otherwise ordinary Cream Cake Hound that wears the titular crown of the Cookie Kingdom. It was placed upon them by Licorice Cookie so they could run away and keep it from GingerBrave and company. This Hound also appears as the game's "connecting" graphic.
Chiffon is the "Alpha Cake Hound of the Cake Legion" (a self-given title) and the Cream Hound companion of Red Velvet Cookie, though he seems to care for many more Cake Hounds than just Chiffon. Chiffon appears in Tragedy at the Tower, the Forgotten Piece of Cake special animation (presumably), and one of Red Velvet Cookie's idle animations. They are highly loyal towards Red Velvet Cookie, jumping in to protect him in Tragedy at the Tower when Pastry Cookie was close to crumbling him, and Red Velvet Cookie is dedicated to doting on Chiffon, embracing them often and feeding them candy cane bones.
Notably, Chiffon narrates nearly the entirety of the Report of One Fine Day Off Costume Set in which they conduct a very serious reconnaissance mission (i.e., a regular walk on the town) and take note of all the suspicious figures lurking about (i.e., normal Cookies). Alongside their comrades Sprinkle and Ganache, the Alpha Hound bravely completes their mission—despite the intermittent cuddle attacks—only to be lightly scolded by Red Velvet Cookie for presenting to him such an unnecessary mission report.
Chiffon's original name in Korean is Alphonse (알폰스/alponsu). A Tweet from the Kingdom Twitter page refers to the Cake Hound present in the Forgotten Piece of Cake as Alphonse, though it's unknown whether this is a mistranslation and the Hound is really Chiffon or if there is another entirely different Hound named Alphonse.
Sprinkle and Ganache[]
Sprinkle and Ganache are two Cake Hounds of unknown breeds who accompany Chiffon in Report of One Fine Day Off to complete their undoubtedly important mission.
Interestingly, these two are referred to as Henry and Raymond in past versions of the Costume Set Story. These are the original names of these Cake Hounds in Korean (헨리, henli and 레이몬드, leimondu); therefore this likely indicates a mis-localization by the game's localization team as named Cake Monsters always have their names changed to something dessert-related in English (example: Charles [찰스, chalsu] in Korean being Schwarzwälder in English).
Carter[]
Carter is the main Cream Cake Hound associated with Madeleine Cookie in the official Madeleine Cookie's CakeCrusade Twitter fan art event. This event is the cause for the popular phenomenon in which Madeleine Cookie is depicted as the pet owner of Carter and/or other Hounds in fan works.
Trivia[]
An overworld Cake Hound's "ass"
In Cookie Run: Kingdom's files, all Cake Hounds with back-facing overworld animations comically have their rear end texture labeled as "body_ass."
In the original Korean name for the Cake Hound (케이크 들개, keiku dulgae), the term 들개 (dulgae) refers to a stray or wild dog rather than simply a domestic dog or hound. In this, the Korean name more accurately translates into English as Wild Cake Dog or Cake Wild Dog.
