Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
An Easter Lamb Cake was always part of our Easter menu. It was a special way to honor our Risen Savior. It was quite an accomplishment to get the cake out of the mold without breaking off the head. I remember several Easters when the head was attached with toothpicks to keep it in position.
