Advantages: yummy!

Disadvantages: none

Baking fairy cakes is a great way to pass time, especially if you want to occupy some kids. I do this quite often when I'm looking after my niece and nephew and they love it, though I still have most of the mixture when its been put in to the cake holders. Making fairy cakes is pretty simple and are suitable for any occasion and even for when it isn't. My mum use to make them for me when I was younger to take school, and they always lasted for quite some time is she put them in a tin.

So, how to make them, there are plenty of ways to make them but how I do I use;

4oz self-raising flower
4oz caster sugar
4oz butter
2 medium eggs

Put these all in to a bowl and mix until the texture is nice and creamy and put the mixture in the cake cups on a baking tray.
Put the tray in to the cooker at gas mark 5 and leave it in there for 15 minutes. Once finished take them out and leave them to cool.
After that if you want to put icing sugar on them then feel free, I prefer to leave them plain, but that may just be due to my laziness!

Summary: The cake mixture tastes so nice!
