I FOUND MY AUNT'S TIN LAMB CAKE MOLD...WENT ON LINE AND READ EVERYONE'S HINTS. Then took the best ideas and used them like
...reduce water by 1/3...use bamboo sticks for support.....fill and back face down....bake 1 hour.
I HAD SUCCESS MY FIRST TRY! YOU CAN TO....HERE IS HOW!

Sitting LAMB CAKE using Tin Mold
1- Coconut Box cake
1- Can white frosting
2- packages sweet Bakers Shredded Coconut
Green food coloring
3- coffee beans - for eyes and nose
3- Bamboo Kabob sticks.

*Place Bamboo sticks in water to soak.
*Preheat oven to 350
*Take mold and spray with Pam-making sure all areas are covered. Then flour mold.
*Prepare box mix....short water by 1/3 cup
*Pour cake mix into front part of lamb
*Break off one bamboo stick and lay it down through the head of the lamb. This will help anchor the head.
*Break off two pieces and lay them at an angle to support the two ears. Make them long enough to they get a good support into the head area
*Place back of mold onto filled front part
*Carefully place in 350 oven and bake for 1 hour
*When done Remove from oven and cool 5 min. Remove back of mold. This will come off easily if you used enough Pam and flour to prepare your mold.
*Allow to cool to touch
*Take a very small, pointed paring kneif and go around and gently make sure cake is released around the edges.
*Prop the lamb upright and support the back of his neck on a clean glass and let him cool further.
*Take a fruit jar and place some white coconut in it. Add drops of green food coloring and mix up with a fork. This will give you your green grass to put around your finished lamb cake.
*Frost Lamb and cover with white coconut
*I always add a bow tie made from a cupcake tin liner. I fasten with a baggie tie so it can be pulled out easily when serving.
......A WALK IN THE PARK......A PIECE OF CAKE! ENJOY!!!!
