My mom always made a lamb -shaped cake for Easter, covered in coconut. It was so cute on its bed of green coconut, surrounded by colorful jelly beans. She was really good with decorating cakes and Easter cookies and she gifted me the lamb mold several years ago. Every time I make it however, the lamb ends up looking like a white bear. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong! So I'm starting to think it's the universe telling me to stick with regular-shaped cakes. I'm glad there are lots of beautiful options in this roundup, from Easter Bunny Cake and Easter Dirt Cake with Peeps to Easter Egg Layer Cake and Easter Egg Piñata Cake—you can't go wrong with any of these choices.
