6oz self raising flour
6oz butter or margarine
6oz sugar
3 eggs.
Beat sugar and butter, sieve flour and add eggs gradually - mix until smooth.
Try adding some food colouring to make them bright, or you could add some cocoa powder to the flour when sieving to make them chocolate.
Spoon into little cake cases and cook at apx 180 deg C for 10 mins, or until light brown. Touch test - press on top of one and if it springs back they're done.
Toppings - butter icing (icing sugar & butter), water icing (icing sugar and water), strawberry jam and a dusting of icing sugar. Add some yummy sprinkles on top of icing.

Fairy Cakes
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
7 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup self-rising cake flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons milk
Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg white
3-4 drops lemon juice
food coloring
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with baking cups.
3. Put all the ingredients except for the milk into a food processor and blend until smooth. Pulse while adding the milk down the funnel to make for a soft consistency.
4. It doesn't seem like enough, but you can get enough into each baking cup, just scrape it all out and try to fill each one equally.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden on top.
6. Cool on a wire rack, but remove from the tin as soon as possible.
7. Before you decorate, slice off any mounded tops so you have a flat surface to decorate. Icing: Mix the sugar, egg white and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and creamy, it should have the consistency of heavy cream I always break the batch into smaller batches so I can have different colors When my girlfriend made these for my shower, she frosted them with a bright pink icing, sprinkled them with iridescent edible glitter and topped it with an edible (gum paste) rosebud.
8. Very very cute!
9. In the cookbook they show them topped with rosebuds and little sugared daisies and fresh berries and they even made a spiderweb with black and white icing.
10. Use your imagination, the flat tops give lots of room to be creative!
I never weight any ingredients so can't help you with the weights but if you mix, flour, sugar, a knob of butter, and some milk (small amount) just enought to make it doughy it should come our ok.
About 25-30 mins in the over at 150c.
Good luck

You can also grate lemon rind into the mixture, yummy.
Use a boxed mix. Isn't that simple enough? I like them. Duncan Hines, Betty Crocker etc etc.....
