No Need for a Lamb Mold!

In keeping with our "Focus on the Lamb, not the Bunny" Easter theme, I wanted to make some actual edible lamb treats of some kind for Easter. The food industry would like to pull the wool over our eyes and lead us to believe that we can't make a lamb cake without store bought mold, but we know there are greener pastures, right? Because I don't have a lamb cake mold, I started thinking... what kind of ba-a-a-rillant lamb desserts or Easter food could you make without a lamb mold of any kind? The internet actually turned up many answers to my sheepish question, so I herded some of them together for ewe! (Ok, ok, I'll stop with the ba-a-ad lamb puns and get on with the ideas now). ;-)

For you ambitious bakers out there, I just love

these lamb cake pops from Bakerella! :-)
Here's a cute lamb cake from Family Fun.
Again- there is no lamb mold needed to make this cake!

Make marshmallow "lamb tails" and package them with
these adorable printable labels with Can't Stop Making Things.
What's easier than that? I made these for an Easter basket stuffer.

Baby Club has directions on how to make these
adorable lamb cupcakes.

These cauliflower sheep were on flickr. So cute with
their black olive heads and black eyed pea eyes!
Wouldn't they be the cutest centerpiece to a veggie tray?


 Rosa's Yummy Yums made these Lamb Rolls.
Wouldn't these be cute at Easter dinner?

Also, check out these Lamb Cinnamon Rolls!
What a great idea for Easter Breakfast!

These lamb cupcakes come from Family Fun.
I made them for Lydia's baptism (over 5 years ago! *sniff!*)

These lamb cupcakes from Cookies and Cups are super cute,

and you could totally skip the cupcake if you wanted!

Not only do I not have a lamb cake mold, but I don't have a lamb butter mold either. If you want a butter lamb and don't have a mold, you still have a few options.

 First, find directions on making a 

free form butter lamb on Taste of Home.

Also, check out your local grocery store because

it turns out they sell butter already shaped like a lamb!

I found these at Giant, and heard they were at Wegman's, too.

I can think of many foods that seem ideal for decorating edible sheep, including popcorn, marshmallows, shredded coconut, and squirty whipped cream. Hope your Easter prep is going well! Worthy is the Lamb! :-)

I love this lamb made from cotton swabs, and it
