Sacrificial Lamb Mold

[Karl R]

I just picked up this lamb mold a few days ago. I was eager to put it to the test. I watched a lady on YouTube, really because I was curious to see how high to pour the batter. I’ll tell the truth, I was cautiously optimistic about what the end result was going to be. I made a carrot cake... I think it would have looked a lot better with a lighter colored cake. I’m flirting with the idea of a pineapple upside down flavored cake with the cherries inside. Maybe dice the fruit small and incorporate it into the batter. Maybe next time. Anyway, here’s this.

did you put any 'supports' in the neck and ears or was the cake dense enough to stay all together?
we did a pound cake recipe and used like a tongue depressor type thing in the neck to add support for the head... the pound cake was really dense... probably would have been ok without it.

You did a fantastic job frosting your cake! I melted some frosting and poured it over and flicked some sprinkles on it haha. I read somewhere to use fruits for the eyes and nose. That’s a good idea too. To answer your question, I did not use supports at first. I think it would have been okay, but then I started to get worried. So, while it was laying down on its side after coming out of the mold, I slid a couple bamboo skewers through the bottom and up to the head. Just as a precaution.
