Hey guys,
it is the season of the bunnies and the daffodils and the eggs … oh and of the lamb cake.
As a lot of people made fun of me lately for bringing up my lamb cake. I decided to bake one to show all of you that this tradition is not only important but also delicious.
A bit of trivia: In Germany, a lamb is sacrificed at Easter, but baked in commemoration of the resurrection, a cake in the shape of an Easter lamb. In the weeks preceding Easter, each bakery bakes and sells hundreds of these cakes. Some are covered in powdered sugar, some a lemon glaze and some even cover them in chocolate and candies.
The only hurdle? I have never baked anything in my life before. So sit back and watch me giving birth to my very first (lamb) cake just for you.
10:22 am - Gathering ingredients
I have realised that I have nothing in my house that goes into cake. I shall be back in 10 - a quick trip to the market….
11.30 - Gathering Ingredients II
This took longer than expected - turns out that supermarkets don’t have a “exactly the ingredients you need for a lamb cake” isle. But I managed… here they are….
11.40 - In the mix
I realised I have nothing to mix the batter with - Using a smoothie maker now. Wish me luck…
12:01 pm - I am sweating
Baking is stressful - This might be the first and last lamb cake I will make.
12:05 pm - The mould
Key is the mould - I had to get this of Amazon. It needs a little dusting and cleaning - we have no idea where this has been…
12:08pm - Me and my big mouth
I wish I would have said nothing and let the cake slip but here we are - elbows deep in cake batter. Also may need to renovate kitchen.
12:15 pm - BURN
So the recipe calls for 180 degrees and I have a gas stove so I have no idea what to do. I figured I could do 45 minutes on a 7 or 10 minutes on 15.
1:00 pm - Definitely sacrificed a lamb
no comment - we shall see what it looks like once I take it out.
1:10 pm 😒
1:15 pm - I AM A GENIUS
Call me Gordon Ramsey - cake looks like a painting. I may have broke its neck but no one will know. She is beautiful. Everyone meet DOLLY…
1:35pm - Finishing Touches
Can’t send Dolly out without any make up on. So here we go. Made her extra pretty. She is beautiful, She is a Model, She is Linda Evangelista….
3:00pm
She is also a little dry …. I am going to buy some jam …

Looks like a success @LukasB . Well done. And well done @TheresaV on being brave enough to tackle @LukasB first baking attempt. Pity we are all gonna miss out on getting a slice but hope there will be an opportunity for us all, in the not-too-distant future, to try another of @LukasB baking delights

Not sure if Lukas can face the stresses of baking again But that might have been caused by all of us teasing him even beyond the community (this was a very highly discussed topic between our colleagues too). If not from @LukasB , I will make sure to get you all fed with some cake @Cleoriff @Mi-Amigo
