Easter is major holiday in Poland, and Easter celebrations are not limited to Easter Sunday. Easter-related traditions take place for more than a week in Poland. On Easter Saturday, baskets of Easter food are taken to church to be blessed; the food that is blessed is eaten as a part of the Easter Sunday meal. The Easter breakfast consists of hard-boiled eggs, cold meats, babka and other dishes, including a cake in the form of a lamb to symbolize Christ. As traditon in Polan my family has the same, we do eat hard-boiled eggs and paint them. Also we have lamb cake to keep the tradition a live in the family. Lamb cake is one of the hardest cakes to make because of the puresis detail you have to put into it and never comes out perfect. The cake is made with pound cake batter in a cast-iron mold, and it is always a worry that the lamb's nose or another part of its anatomy will stick when unmolded. It got a swirly coat of, usually, cream cheese frosting, raisin eyes and nose, a red ribbon around its neck to represent the Pascal Lamb, and was placed on a bed of dyed-green coconut. It a tradition in my family if you are hosting easter at your home you bake the cake. Sometimes we have conflicts over the cake making it hard for us to find a house that will hoste easter, that is how important it is. There is only a limited amount of cast-iron molds made said about only 626 and in are family we only have one that is passed around. With all the hassal and struggle of making a cake it has it delcious benifitts
