This week, instead of making knitted cupcakes (or 'fairy cakes' as we used to call them in England), I have been baking them instead - batch after batch in preparation for a cupcake stall I volunteered to run at a big local event in two weeks. Everyone thinks I am mad to have volunteered but I am actually really looking forward to it.I am not exactly a domestic goddess, I can only make a few things really well (full English breakfast, Hollandaise sauce, cup of tea, apple crumble, shepherd's pie, toast) but I am really proud of my cupcakes and they always get snapped up so I guess they are pretty good.
Tanya at Lily & Agathe asked me ages ago to write a recipe post for her cute new 'how to' blog, so I have posted my best fairy cake recipe and you can see it here. These are some of the photos I took for the post - do you think I own too many cupcake cases? I seem to have an obesession with them and was surprised at quite how many I had when I pulled them all out of the pantry!

you can never have too many cup cake cases - always best to avoid the trauma of running out! (love those dotty toadstool buns!) t.xx
This has made me feel so much better as I love cake cases but I don't have nearly as many as you so I can justify getting some more! The toadstool ones are fabulous, I am inspired...

Yes indeedy, you can never have too many, and the flags? where did you find them, do they do french flags, little british ones won't go down well at a cake sale here...
My goodness, I was a letter away with the word verification thing at writing crap on your blog !! as if !!
I wish I could sample every one of your cakes.
Quality control reasons of course ;-)
No prizes for guessing which one's are my faves!
