Fairy cakes

are NOT cupcakes BUT after an evening of cleaning the oven/hob and doing a load of washing they tasted rather scrummy!

I bought them in Sainsburys today, they're by Fiona Cairns (http://www.fionacairns.com/ for £1.99 for two (I had the lilac one - the others for Manny). Not as nice as a cupcake, mainly due to the icing (it was royal rather than buttercream) but still the cake was scrummy and light!
