These were made for my grandson Joe's 3rd birthday. He had great fun icing them all with his friend Jack, and sister Ella.
Method

1
Preheat oven to Gas mark 5.
1- Place your paper cases in baking tin (great for a little helper to do). In a mixing bowl beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. You can use an electric whisk or a wooden spoon.
2- Add beaten egg, whisking well.
3- Add half the flour and fold into the mixture. Add the milk and the rest of the flour and fold until well combined.
4- Spoon equally into the cases and bake for 12 minutes or until risen and golden on top.
Allow to cool for ten minutes on a rack before icing.
Mix up the icing, following instructions as per the box, adding a couple of drops of food colouring. We made blue icing for superman cakes. Then top with your selection of sprinkles. Great fun for young cooks!

I am surprised and disappointed that anyone could claim Fairy Cakes as an American cuisine. I first made fairy cakes 40+ years ago for my eldest son .....my mother having made them for me as a child. Fairy Cakes are as English as me .... Americans make a great deal of fuss about 'cup cakes' but they are a mere copy of our English fairy cake. Jenh.
