Ahhh....the Easter lamb cake ....a tradition in my family.When I was a kid in Chicago.... you could buy lamb cakes at most of the Polish and Lithuanian bakeries near my house.
After I moved away from the old neighborhood, I rarely saw this type of Easter cake.....but I did find a cast iron....lamb mold....and every year hub throws out a lamb....often with disastrous results...an ear falls off...maybe two...a nose is crooked...a cheek is hollow and must be filled with extra frosting.....the eyes are usually problematic...and often look shifty..... which isn't very becoming on a lamb.
This year in honor of our dog Mattie....who has naturally wayward eyes....we created an occularly challenged lamb.....for this beautiful spring Sunday.
If Easter is in your family repetoire....hope you had a great day.~!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~
