Chef's Tips
• There are endless ways to decorate your cakes – find natural colourings, shimmery edible glitter and sprinkles in all good supermarkets and specialist cake shops.
• For a really special occasion, decorate with sugared rose petals by simply dipping fresh rose petals in egg white, dusting with sugar and leaving to dry out overnight.
• For a chocolate frosting – beat 3tbsp cocoa powder into the icing listed above.
• See our little lemon fairy cakes for lemon water icing or try orange and lemon zest and juice.
• If you want to make smaller cakes – place fairy cake cases into bun tins – this mixture should make 15-18 fairy cakes. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
