Easter lamb cake

[DuaneMac]

It’s not Easter in our house without the lamb cake! The mold is from grandmom, seems like cast aluminum or something. Griswold made one in cast iron but ours is not marked at all. Nordicware still makes a cheaper modern version.
We just use a boxed pound cake mix and cream cheese icing. Then covered with shredded coconut. We also dye some of it green for the grass. Face is jelly beans. It’s fun to make! What are your families Easter traditions? Food or otherwise…

Nice Duane! I inherited a Guardianware roaster from my grandmother, looking forward to the time when my grandchildren want to use that. Have a blessed Feast of the Ressurection!

I'll have to look for one of those molds so I can make a lamb cake for the grandkids next year....

Very cute!

It is, when our granddaughter was little she would cry when we cut into it!

I have my mom's. I only recall a few times she making a lamb cake. I look forward to taking up that tradition with my grand kids.

 

[DuaneMac]

Well, she obviously no longer cares about the welfare of the lamb!

Maybe that's one way to get my wife to eat lamb.

My other half isn’t a fan either. I love it!

I guess this was the silencing of the lamb

It puts the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again.

It’s that time of year again! A successful bake, there’s always a sigh of relief when it comes out of the mold in one piece. The decorating phase will take place tonight!

Very cool .

 

[DuaneMac]

He’s all done, Happy Easter!

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Another hit!

 

[DuaneMac]

He still has his head but there was a black jelly bean fan so the eyes needed to be replaced! He’s a little smaller now.

my grandmother had the same mold... Certainly a crowd pleaser and the highlight of every Easter... ears intact - yours looks great!
