It's lamb cake season in Chicagoland.
My sister found a cast aluminum lamb cake pan while thrifting in Louisville. I was unable to identify the pan but the shape looks exactly like the #Griswold cast iron lamb mold.
I've been experimenting with the pan and managed to turn out one vanilla cake with a broken ear and one perfect chocolate cake. I think I'm ready to try a pound cake recipe. 😉
I'm using the Griswold technique of flipping the pan while baking.

I went through the Starved Rock Lock this past weekend.
The weather was gorgeous, the Illinois River was calm and I did not get seasick.
The trees haven't gotten their cue so the leaves are still green in the canopy.
I didn't see any of the invasive carp that star in those viral videos of people getting hit by fish leaping out of the water.
Going through the lock was pretty cool, ngl. 😺

I saw the #Hiplet #Ballerinas last night AtTheMac.org and every dancer was amazing to watch.
I love watching #dance. I cannot, so I appreciate those with this talent.
It was an evening of hip hop, classic ballet, modern dance and a little bit of tap all in one performance, with only a cast of 9! Oh, the energy!
I've never seen tap or hip hop dance live before so quite the treat for me!
