This recipe yields 16 servings:

• 1 (15.25 ounce) package white cake mix
• 1 egg white
• cup white sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
• teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup flaked coconut

Directions

Follow these steps to prepare the lamb cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 450F (230C).
2. Grease and flour a lamb cake mold thoroughly.
3. Prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the package.
4. Pour the batter into the face half of the well-greased lamb mold.
5. Cover the batter with the back half of the mold and secure it with wire or a tie.
6. Place the mold face down on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 450F (230C).
7. Reduce the temperature to 350F (175C) and bake for an additional 35 minutes.
8. After baking, remove the cake from the oven and carefully take off the back half of the mold.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the face half of the mold for about 5 minutes.
10. Loosen the cake from the sides of the mold and remove it gently.
11. Stand the lamb cake upright on a cooling rack until completely cool.
12. Once cooled, frost the cake with snow frosting and cover it with flaked coconut.

For Snow Frosting:

1. In the top of a small double boiler, combine the egg white, sugar, salt, water, and corn syrup.
2. Beat the mixture with a rotary egg beater for about 1 minute, until thoroughly mixed.
3. Cook over rapidly boiling water while constantly beating with the egg beater for 4 minutes, or until the frosting forms stiff peaks.
4. Remove from the boiling water, add the vanilla extract, and continue beating for another minute, or until the frosting is thick enough to spread.
