How To Make Fairy Cakes

Making Fairy Cakes

Ingredients:

• 125g (4oz) Butter,
• 125g (4oz) Caster sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 125g (4oz) Self-Raising flour

Now firstly you want to heat your oven to 180° (350°F)

All children, go and wash your hands WITH SOAP!!

Firstly you want to cream the fat and sugar together until light and fluffy. Then beat your eggs in one at a time. (At this point, you might think it looks like the mixture has curdled a bit, don't worry!) Now adding a spoon at a time carefully fold your flour into the mixture.

After all the flour has been folded in, carefully divide your mixture into about 12 cake cases. You should only need about 2 teaspoons per case.

Now pop in the oven for about 20 mins. Kids go and play! You can now have a coffee and have a bit of peace.

When the 20 mins are up check your cakes are ready by using a skewer or fork and push it in the centre of one of your cakes (preferably the biggest one) if it comes out clean they are done, if not try again in 5 mins!

Whilst the cakes are cooling, it's best not to tell the kids they're done yet as they'll only mither you to decorate them. So, in the meanwhile mix up some icing sugar with a few drops of food colouring, pour out a few hundreds and thousands etc... into little saucers and as soon as the cakes have cooled, let the kids have fun!
