An Easter lamb cake was tradition. My grandmother used a mold that was...problematic. The ears were too thin & would burn. The nose would ALWAYS stick in the pan. And both sides had to be glued together w/frosting. THEN it would tip...or the head would fall off! #NailedIt

One Spring, The Daughter (now grown & in her own home) asked to #bake the lamb cake. I laughed maniacally...and handed over the dreaded aluminum mold. I warned her of its pitfalls. The two upended drinking glasses in this pic were needed to support the head of her effort that Easter. #TraumaBonding

Trick is spray with PAM and lightly flour with toothpicks in the ears!

Did ALL that; nothing helped. In the end, we embraced the challenge & its messy result. Same tradition...but w/more intentional humor!
Avoiding frustration often requires framing problems in a different light. (Also, we haven't made lamb cake since this disaster! 🤣 It's OK to abandon tradition.)
