Good to see you back posting. Even if my first thought on seeing
the title of this recipe was that we'd be cruising to "Gay Bay". Bv)=

MMMMM----   Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Mary Berry's Iced Faery Cakes
Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Snacks
     Yield: 12 cupcakes

MMMMM-----------------------FAERY CAKES------------------------------
   100 g  (4 oz) softened butter
   100 g  (4 oz) caster sugar
     2 lg Eggs
   100 g  (4 oz) self-raising flour
     1 ts (level) baking powder

MMMMM--------------------------ICING---------------------------------
   225 g  (8 oz) sifted icing sugar
     2 tb (to 3 tb) warm water
          Handful of sweets; to
          - decorate

 To make these faery cakes, preheat the oven to 200ºC
 fan/180ºC fan/gas 6. Place faery cake cases into a 12
 hole bun tin, to keep a good even shape as they bake.
 Or if you don't have a bun tin, you can line a standard
 baking tray instead, but just keep in mind that the
 cakes may not rise perfectly rounded as they won't have
 support from the bun tin to hold the mixture in place
 when baking.

 Measure all the ingredients; 100g softened butter, 100g
 caster sugar, 2 large eggs, 100g self-raising, and 1
 level tsp baking powder into a large bowl and beat for
 2-3 mins with an electric whisk or wooden spoon manually
 until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Fill each
 paper case with the mixture using a tablespoon to ensure
 each faery cake will bake to the same size.

 Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the
 cakes are well-risen and golden brown. We would
 recommend checking the cakes at 15 minutes to make sure
 they are not browning too quickly on top - don't open
 the oven though or only open it slightly if you have to
 otherwise the mixture will sink in the middle and your
 faery cakes won't rise properly. Once baked, lift the
 paper cases out of the bun tin and cool the cakes on a
 wire rack.

 Once the faery cakes are completely cooled, put the
 icing sugar in a bowl and gradually blend in the warm
 water until you have a fairly stiff icing. Spoon over
 the top of the cakes and decorate with sweets. Leave to
 set for 30 minutes or serve as they are.
