Purchased this lamb cake mold for Easter and wanted to do a practice run. Glad I did because I learned some things today haha any idea what to do with the “lamb” cake?

RIP lamby. I like making parfait with my massacres. Layer some cake and fruit and whipped cream with a bit of vanilla essence.

Did you grease the pan? 😅

Always good to do a test run! I applaud your forward thinking, it is frustrating to read posts from individuals who attempt new/tricky techniques with no time for failure. We are all human and baking is hard!
bafflingboondoggle
Oh no! I’m so bummed for you! Very smart to to a trial run though!!
you need baker’s joy, it’s a oiled spray with flour mixed in for quick release!
edited to add: use silicone baster to smear it into the mold grooves!

Lamb balls… (cake pops)

I remember 25 years ago my mom trying to bake a Funfetti cake for my brother’s birthday. It came out of the pan like this. She baked another. Same results. She baked a third. Same results. Many tears were shed from a woman who decorated cakes as a side job. She baked yellow, chocolate, or marble cakes using boxed mixes. Never had troubles with those flavors. The only difference was the Funfetti mix.

Use Bakers Joy spray. Never have a problem with any sticking.

You can always turn this into cake pops!

Best non-stick trick I learned was to mix equal amounts of butter, oil, and flour… melt and mix and then brush on the pan before pouring in your batter. It. Is. Amazing.

Confetti cake scraps with globs of frosting are the best! 😋

You could use this one for cake pops maybe! Or like someone else said, a parfait. I’d possibly even eat it with just a big scoop of vanilla ice cream in a big bowl

Next time, grease the pan with cake goop. You can either make it yourself or buy it.

Butter! Even with oil, butter!

Hey! We have this exact cake pan! We grease it heavily with crisco vegetable grease stuff and then coat that with flour, THEN pour the batter in. You’ll also want to stick toothpicks in the ears and the neck to keep it stable. Then you’ll want to use a shoelace to tie the top of the mold onto the bottom with the batter, obviously the face being the top of the mold.

Taking that ‘Silence of the lambs’ cake a little too literally… 🫠 (I am so, so sorry. I needed to get that out of my system)

It looks like the lamb mold is judging the mess in the first picture. Lol.
I would look at it this way. Now you have snacking cake for when you do it for real.

A sacrificial lamb?

Put less batter in the pan. Dont fill it any more than 2/3 up. And grease the pan with either butter spread on or (my preference) pam spray. Make sure it hits all the crevices to avoid sticking. Let it cool in the pan til you can touch it before trying to unmold it. Place a cutting board or rack on the top of the pan and with your hand on the bottom of the pan and the top of the rack (like a hand sandwich) *gently* flip the pan and rack so they are reversed. Then gently rattle the pan on the rack to gently release it from the mold and finish cooling

Looks like funfetti. Cake. I only use pound cakes for complicated molds. I find it holds up better. Also. I bake a toothpick in the neck to stabilize

On the other hand that lamb’s face would have been cursed anyway it’s like 🫥 Cake probably tasted great tho!
Lol my grandma has this pan! Totally gave me flashbacks to Easters with her. Crisco was her best friend for this pan 🫶🏼 good luck!

Just chew the edges to make them sticky then jam then together. Problem solved!

Homemade cake goop will work great on that pan. It’s equal parts shortening, vegetable oil, and flour mixed together, then you brush it on the pan with a pastry brush. Leftover cake goop can be stored in the fridge

Sacrificial lamb.

You can’t use a traditional cake recipe or boxed mix. The crumb is too delicate. Use a pound cake recipe or box mix and it will come out just fine.

Here’s some very good advice: “Spray the pan with non stick spray. Then, slather the pan with solid vegetable shortening, like Crisco. Finally, dust a thin layer of flour on the bottom and side of the cake pan. A flour sifter or sieve works best for this.”

You led that lamb to slaughter like Judas goat.

Sacrificial lamb for sure.
