I loved making Lamb cake growing up. One year the head fell off, and so we stuck along skewer through an d made a cross with another little piece of wood so it looked like the lamb of God holding the cross. 🤣 this year my mom suggested bringing it back…and I suggested the bold attempt at chocolate shavings for the wool. Will report back!
Lamb cake is one of our favorite traditions, too :). It is so much fun to see how they turn out! Mine always look a little silly, but that's part of the fun.
I make a white lamb cake with white boiled icing and white coconut. I use blue jelly beans for eyes and a pink one for the nose, a wreath of fresh pansies on the head and a pastel ribbon around its neck. It is nestled on a bed of green coconut with fresh pansies, pastel jelly beans and robin egg candies surrounding the cake. The cake is the centerpiece on the buffet.
I have lost the recipe but I also used to make a rosemary bread in the pan as well, which I took as a hostess gift if we were invited elsewhere for Easter. I would love to find that recipe! It was enclosed with my Wilton lamb cake pan back in the 1980s.
Love this tradition! I, too, find food tied to a holiday to be one of the best ways to make it real in our children (and our!) eyes! Hence, I have been making a Yule Log cake every New Year's these past few years, but never before have I contemplated a lamb cake! We shall see if that comes to fruition over here!

Okay, that is amazing 😂 can’t wait to hear how the chocolate shavings work out!

That is absolutely part of the fun. Even Martha Stewart’s looks a little goofy!
