More Information About Fairy Cakes
The fairy cake is a very versatile and globally enjoyed dessert all
around. It benefits from its small size which allows loads of them to be
baked at the same time and considerably faster than layer cakes, they
are suitable for a multitude of social gatherings and they are equally
liked by young and old alike.
Fairy cakes are usually the dessert of choice at birthday parties and
garden parties but they are equally tailored to more serious special
occasions such as weddings for instance.
While the basics of fairy cake recipes are the same, namely flour,
eggs, sugar and butter, there is a lot of room to vary things up when we
think about flavours, shapes, colours, fillings and decorations.
We said earlier that fairy cakes are great because they cook faster than
the traditional layer cakes, and this allows you the opportunity of
creating several flavours of fairy cakes which you can present to your
guests. You can just create a whole lot of the cake batter and then
flavour it with chocolate, lemon, banana, whatever you think your guests
will enjoy.
Another way you can make your fairy cakes special is by choosing a
different shape for them. Of course the traditional round shape is the
standard but there are many pans out there that come in different shapes
like stars and flowers, so feel free to experiment.
 One of the most obvious ways of setting your fairy cakes apart from
the traditional ones is by varying up the frosting you use. There are
some very quick ways of frosting a fairy cakes by quickly dipping them
in things like poured fondant or butter-cream. With a little bit more
work and effort you can create individual spirals of frosting with the
aid of a decorating bag. You can also play around with the colour of the
frosting; there’s a wide range of colours out there to choose from, and
you can choose a colour that is in tune with the celebration at hand, if
it’s a Halloween party then orange and blood-red are great, if it’s
Christmas then green and red will do the trick. A somewhat related
variation could be to fill your fairy cakes with all sorts of tasty
things. With the help of a dessert decorator you can inject your cakes
with any sort of thing you wish be it peanut butter or chocolate cream.
