Victoria's late B-Day gift

Victoria got a late B-Day gift from her great grandpa and grandma. It's called Betty Bib's Fairy Handbook. It is the cutest book and anyone who likes fairies will love it. It talks about any kinda fairy u can think of and has a recipe for fairy cake that i will put down for anyone who wants to try it.

FAIRY CAKE RECIPE

4 oz butter or margarine
4 oz sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp milk

FOR THE ICING

4 oz icing (confectioners') sugar
juice of 1 lemon


Preheat oven to 400F. In a large bowl. cream the butter or margarine with the sugar until light as a fairy. Gradually beat in the egg and the vanilla essence. Then fold in the flour and stir in the milk. Spoon the mixture into paper cases placed on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cakes are golden brown and firm to the touch. Cool on a wire rack. To make the icing, put the icing sugar in a bowl and add the lemon juice. Beat together until the icing is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and semi-opaque like a fairy's wings. Spread it over the top of each cake and decorate with one of these suggestions.


Crystallized rose petals for a fragrant crunch
Finely chopped lavender (English or French)
A freshly-picked primrose from the garden or woodland
A single sugared almond or a pounded green pistachio

If anyone tries to make the cake i would love to hear from you. Enjoy!
