Fairy cake recipes

  • Kids love to ice and decorate fairy cakes. Invite the grandparents over so the kids can show off (and eat!) their creations.

  • These couldn't be simpler and are a great idea for the kids to give Mum as a present. Look in cake decorating shops or good kitchenware stores for small flower-shaped cutters.

  • These cute little fairy cakes are perfect for kids' parties and they only need 15 minutes in the oven - easy peasy!

  • These are the ultimate girls’ night in treat, but they are equally delicious to enjoy over morning coffee, afternoon tea, at a celebration or even as an alternative to dessert - watch our video for how to make them
