My  first brush with fairy cakes was about 8 years back when I moved to London and the instant  I saw them in the super market I fell in love with their shape, their colour and their look. It was like calling out to me “ come  take me home” ….

 

Years went by but I never really got my hands on to try them, until the other day when I dear friend of mine posted pictures of her cupcakes….

 

Cup cakes are sacred, There something mysterious about them, pretty little things with hidden goodies.. You cannot help admire them….

The easiest and perhaps also the most joyous of cakes, the fairy cake is queen of the tea table

 

You can just about do anything with them, colour them, ice them, slice them but any which ways they are still the most gorgeous thing to come out from the oven,

 

Not to mention the aroma they spread…..

 

I mean it is one of those food fit for the fairies and goddesses…  Oh and offcourse for all mortal tea parties.
