I am sure that Adele is regretting her decision right now! Vanilla cake contains a lot of sugar, which would easily cause an upset stomach. I would recommend that you not feed any more food for tonight, but leave water out. If she starts vomiting and it lasts longer than 8-12 hours, or if she becomes profoundly lethargic, she may need to be evaluated by an emergency veterinarian for pain medications, nausea medications, and sometimes even hospitalization if she is diagnosed with pancreatitis (which mini schnauzers are prone to getting). If she does ok overnight, then only give her half of her normal breakfast and continue watching for signs of nausea or pain.
