I just made an Easter Lamb, but had trouble getting it out of the mold. The bottom of the cake broke away from the main part. Is there anything on the market (like edible cake glue) that will hold it together, without having me start from scratch? Thank you!

What can I do next?

The best I think you could do is use decorator's icing to glue it with. Assuming you will be frosting the entire lamb anyway, it should not be noticeable. You can buy decorator icing at Hobby Lobby or Schwepees (and probably other places). I wouldn't use regular "in the can" grocery store icing as it is to soft and doesn't really harden. You can make decorator icing (I don't have a recipe on hand, but you could try allrecipes.com). Basically you want an icing that is more stiff.

Another idea would be to stick it together with toothpicks or wooden kabob skewers (depending on how bad it is). You might even be able to just stick it together without much of anything and then frost the outside of it to hold it together.

Good luck!

You could just use some of your icing to "glue" it together. Instant layer cake :)

*giggle* so sorry but I was VERY confused at first by your post. I reread the first sentence 3 times before I went onto the next, then it became clear what you were talking about. I thought you were talking about giving birth! HAHA! Some people go WAY around talking about the birth process, I am so glad you are talking about cake. :P
Use a butter spray but then shake a little flour into the pan, gentley tapping the pan so the flour shifts around and coats the butter spray. Make sure the whole pan is covered with flour, dump out the rest. You shouldn't need more than 2 tablespoons or so to do this. It just needs to be lightly floured. Add your cake mix and bake. BTW, it sounds like you didn't bake it quite long enough. You may want to get an oven thermometer and see what the real temp is in your oven and adjust it accordingly. =)

Actually icing is a natual glue ~ you may want to make the icing thicker/stronger ( a version of royal icing and not thin like cans found in grocery store). I used to work for Wilton ~ they have a great web-site Wilton.com that might have better instructions. Hope I'm not stating the obvious but in the future make sure cake pan is properly prepared (grease/flour) and you should get perfect results. Wilton pans are wonderful ~ I made molded Lion and Giraffe cakes for my 2 years twins birthday last year.
