Hi all,
I made my first lamb cake for Easter and it turned out really cute. I used a pound cake and buttercream icing and after it had sat out a while, his head fell off. So, I was considering a dowel in the head? or straws? One more question, I planned on making quite a few ahead of time and freezing them. Do I dowel and then freeze, is that an o.k. thing to freeze into the cake? or do I let thaw and then dowel?

Any help is really appreciated. Thanks so much!

Sorry but I kind of chuckled reading about your poor lamb. icon_confused.gif
I would dowel first. Yes, you can freeze the cake with the dowel already in it. Good luck

It's funny, I just read your post. I have a lamb cake pic on my photos on this site and that's exactly what happened!! I have to deliver the cake from NJ to NYC and it arrived with it's head off. Since, I always insert a wooden dowell.

Hehehe. Last Easter I made a lamb and it was great. I forgot to take a picture of it as we headed to my dads and figured I would get a picture when we got there. Well, we opened the cake container when we got there and the head was laying on the plate. I was mortified and could NOT stop laughing! I was upset I didn't get a picture. From now on, I put dowels (actually wooden steak skewers) on anything that may fall off. As for dowel first or freezing, I would think that you could freeze it and put the dowel in after it thaws. The only reason I would say that is that freezing expands things and might change the hole size or something. HTH

That does sound funny, that the lamb was decapitated. I've heard of this happening with the old 3-D lion pan, but not the lamb.
