Vintage Easter: Lamb Cakes

No dessert clearly defines Midwestern holiday traditions quite like the Easter Lamb Cake. While the origins of these kitschy cake creations remain a mystery, herds most notably began forming around the 1950's and soon these little lambs became an Easter staple in many midwestern German and Polish households.

Jarosch Bakery has offered Easter Lamb Cakes since opening our doors in 1959 and we've proudly shared our family's culinary custom with families around Chicagoland for nearly 60 years. Whether you're new to the Easter Lamb phenomenon or have enjoyed them for decades, one thing is certain: Easter Lamb Cakes are as flavorful as they are fun!

Easter Lamb Pic
Each lamb is comprised of our scratch-made yellow pound cake-- a dense yet tender dough with a slight hint of lemon to create a brightness that breaks through the richness and sweetness from all the butter and sugar. Choose from a variety of "furs:" Buttercream, Chocolate Buttercream, Colored Buttercream (pink, blue, yellow, or lavender), Chocolate Fondant, or the traditional White Coconut. The heads of the lambs are dipped in melted fondant for a clean, defined finish and tend to be the part fought over the most by the kids!
