I am going to be in London for a few days this week so am hoping to pay a visit for myself… just don’t know which one to go to, Notting Hill or South Kensington?!

Ingredients:  caster sugar, butter/margerine, 2 eggs (free range), sr flour, vanilla extract, milk + pretty cake cases

- preheat oven to 200°c
- 125g caster sugar + 125g butter – cream together in a mixing bowl.
- add eggs to sugar and butter mix and beat together. add 1tsp vanilla extract.

- seive 125g sr flour into the mixing bowl.
- add 2 tbs milk and beat together until smooth.

- arrange the cakes cases in a 12hole bun tin and then spoon the mixture equally into each case.
- pop them in the oven for 10 to 12 mins – or until golden brown on top
… now do the washing up

- take them out of the oven when they’re done and put them on a cooling rack and let them cool for a while.

To Ice:

- you’re gonna need icing sugar, water and jelly diamonds!
- 125g of icing sugar, seive it into a bowl and add 1tbsp warm water and mix well

- now put the icing onto the fairy cakes.
(Using a spoon dipped in hot water helps to stop the icing sticking.)
If its a bit runny add more icing sugar, you don’t want it to run off the sides!

- Add your decorations before the icing sets…
I went for jelly diamonds, but you could use silver balls, hundred n thousands, chocolate sprinkles…
