My great aunt, who is now in her nineties, used to bake lamb cakes every Easter when she was a young and spry (like in her 70s). Lovely ones filled with spice cake, cream cheese frosting, coconut fleece, and currant eyes. I think she sometimes even put a ribbon around it's neck. Beautiful and delicious.
Two years ago for my birthday, Mom got me a cast iron rabbit cake mold. We couldn't find it last year for Easter, but now I've got it. I'm going to make one!
I'm petrified.
More updates throughout the day!
PS. This lamb cake is from here:http://annhetzelgunkel.com/easter/lambcake.html
Not Aunt Edna's actual lamb cake. Maybe Mom has a photo somewhere...
