"fairy cakes" is the British term for cupcakes!? I would do just a regular white cake recipe!. it really depends on who you're cooking for,
for kids i would do something safe like a white or yellow cake with vanilla frosting!. Kids like colors and things that look cool so just decorate them with rainbow sprinkles little sugar figures, flowers and stuff!. also you could take white frosting and add a few drops of food coloring, Make it exciting for them!. also if you got a cooking syringe you could pump vanilla pudding on the inside that has been colored with some food coloring!.
with adults you can be more creative with flavors!. red velvet cake with white or cream cheese frosting, dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache, carrot cakes with cream cheese frosting I have a recipie for strawberry cupcakes which are always a hit:
ingredients:
* 10 tablespoons butter, room temperature
* 3/4 cup white sugar
* 3 eggs
* 1 teaspoon strawberry extract
* 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour

2!. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy!. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the strawberry extract!. Combine the self-rising flour and salt; stir into the batter just until blended!. Fold in strawberries last!. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly!.
3!. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes!. Cool in the pan set over a wire rack!. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter!.
