We also get cut pussywillow branches and put them in a vase and put little egg decorations on them! We always eat a ham dinner with asperagus, green beans, carrots, roasted potatoes with rosemary... and cake with strawberries for dessert. Holiday meals are so special! Have fun making your 1st lamb cake!Evelyn aka Starfishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025353776081066815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-65241623942204822142010-04-05T22:19:59.744-04:002010-04-05T22:19:59.744-04:00My husbands family have a tradition of rolling the...My husbands family have a tradition of rolling their Easter eggs down a coulee hill on the farm. I have been doing it with them for the last 36 Easters. My children and now my grandchildren love it and can't wait to see who can throw their egg the farthest without breaking it. Of course the salt and pepper shakers go up the hill also. And I don't know who has the most fun --- the children or the adults!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287198643872014374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-68645466209690847082010-04-05T18:58:46.055-04:002010-04-05T18:58:46.055-04:00How adorable !!

Mmm Mmmmmm cakes sounds so good right now!!! <br />Although not the healthiest way to do things I know, but the way to be certain to get your cake out of the mold is wrap a paper towel around your fingers (so they don't get greasy) get a glob of margarine/crisco/soft butter and rub it all around the pan making sure you get the sides, top and around the outside edges of the rim really good and greased up. Then hold the pan over the trashcan and sprinkle flour all over - tap the mold here and there so that flour coats all the sides and edges and dump the excess out. Pour your batter in and when it comes out of the oven you should be able to just take a butter knife to loosen it and it will come out beautifully. I've never had any problems with this... but I also have a very large behind. ; )Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839013868513125880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-21663232518493676422010-04-04T08:56:20.866-04:002010-04-04T08:56:20.866-04:00what a wonderful gift and a wonderful tradition! ...what a wonderful gift and a wonderful tradition!

Yes, grease and FLOUR the mold. The nose goes down on a cookie sheet, fill that half, push a toothpick flat in each ear to strengthen it, set the back half of the mold on top, and bake. Usually I have to trim the edges after it is baked.<br /><br />We frosted it with whipped cream and served fresh strawberry sauce to give it some flavor.<br /><br />Not from my childhood, but something I began for MY kids.<br /><br />In my childhood the main special things were a new pair of white cotton gloves to wear to church and a large [three inch] chocolate egg from my aunt.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208479319934460737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-4918282548479402802010-04-03T12:03:06.314-04:002010-04-03T12:03:06.314-04:00When I was small we used to go into the North End ...When I was small we used to go into the North End of Boston on Good Friday.

Every Easter it would come out of the china cabinet and my brothers and I would make slightly horrified jokes to ourselves (never to my dear Nana whom we all loved).
