A cast aluminum cake pan in the shape of a lamb. The lamb is sitting with its legs tucked underneath the body. A sturdy pound cake is typically baked in these molds for Easter Sunday. The lamb cake is decorated with piped white icing to mimic the woolly coat. A few jelly beans for the eyes and nose and it's ready to be devoured.

A lamb cake mold with a finished, baked cake inside the back half of the mold. The cake was perfect except for a crack in one ear. The ears are delicate and I used toothpicks to strengthen them but I did not push the toothpick into the batter far enough and it did not bake into the center. My second try was much better and the lamb's ears did not stick to the mold and did not break.

It's lamb cake season in Chicagoland.

My sister found a cast aluminum lamb cake pan while thrifting in Louisville. I was unable to identify the pan but the shape looks exactly like the #Griswold cast iron lamb mold.

I've been experimenting with the pan and […]

A split open lamb cake head. Spice cake with cream cheese frosting

The lamb cake lay there innocently for a while, until suddenly it split open like The Thing, exposing its spice cake innards.

Oops.

Fortunately my friends weren’t too bothered and ate up the rest of it. #lambcake

It still looked pretty good at this point until….

A lamb cake decorated with pansies. All the body has been cut off and eaten except for the front quarter Giving the odd look of a long neck with a lamb head on top

So it stood for Easter dinner and we got a nice Lamb Cake Henge.

But then it started to sway back and forth like that movie we watched in physics about the suspension bridge collapse…

A 3D lamb cake. White coconut frosting, pink jelly bean slices for ears and mouth, purple jelly bean slices for eyes, black icing nose and pupils. Lamb is wearing a necklace of Jordan almonds and a wreath of pink and white candy flowers on its head. Mini chocolate chip poop at the butt end. Sitting on green coconut grass on a white oval platter. Party cake peep chicks and jelly beans are on the grass.

All done and ready to eat!

Tomorrow morning will do coconut frosting and decorating.

A lamb cake for Easter covered in swirls of cream cheese frosting with currant eyes and a pink jellybean nose. Cake inside is spice cake with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, allspice, clove, and nutmeg. And a handful of currants.

Proof she once stood (if her head falls off later).

I used a spice cake for this Easter lamb cake that was way too sweet and moist and her neck is… delicate. Hopefully a bamboo skewer and a ton of cream cheese frosting will keep it on.

Otherwise, a tribute to St Agnes. #baking #lambcake

Two halves of heavy aluminum lamb cake mold on either side of the lamb cake on parchment on a rack. The cake is golden brown and perfectly formed.

Voilà! Let there be cake! #LambCake

Batter-filled front side of lamb cake mold. Bamboo skewers down into nose, vertical along neck, and horizontal into the ears. Batter is thick and very pale beige.

Greased and floured interior of back side of heavy aluminum lamb cake mold sitting on a round green placemat.

Grease/flour job and batter filled. I don't think it needed skewers in the ears and head, but I know at least four people that will ask me if I put wood picks in the ears and head, so I did it. #LambCake
