Makes 24 mini cakes or 12 larger ones. For mini cakes you will need a 12 hole tartlet tin (these are 5cm at the rim and 1 1/2 cm deep) and you will need to use it twice. For larger cakes use a 12-hole bun tin (these are 6 1/2 cm at the rim and 2cm deep). You can use the little paper cases according to the size tin you have. If not, butter the base and sides of the holes before filling with the mixture. * 125g / 4 1/2 oz softened butter * 125g / 4 1/2 oz caster sugar * 2 eggs, lightly beaten * 1 tsp vanilla extract * 125g / 4 1/2 oz self-raising flour * 2 tbsp milk * *# Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas mark 5. Either butter the tin or place the paper cases in the holes (see above). In a mixing bowl beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. You can use an electric whisk or a wooden spoon. *# Add the beaten egg, a little at a time, whisking to incorporate, then beat in the vanilla. *# Sift in half of the flour and fold into the mixture. Add the milk and the rest of the flour and fold until well combined. *# Spoon into the tin and bake for 12 minutes or until risen and golden on top. Allow to cool for ten minutes on a rack before removing from the tin. Lemon or Orange Glacé Icing with Cherries * 100g / 4 oz icing sugar * 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon or Orange Juice * 12 glacé cherries, cut in half (these work best when making the mini cakes) * Mix the juice into the icing sugar and stir until well blended. Drizzle over the cakes when cooled. Top with the cherries, cut side down, while the icing is still soft. Chocolate Ganache Glaze * 150g / 5 1/2 oz good quality Dark Chocolate * 150ml / 5 fl oz double cream * Break the chocolate into pieces and heat gently with the cream in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.

Fairy floss is another term used for cotton candy. The ingredients for a recipe to make the candy, include sugar, corn syrup, water, salt, and flavoring. You combine the ingredients over medium heat then once it is the right temperature you take a whisk and swing it back and forth until you build up the candy. Lastly wrap it around a stick immediately.

Hiya im Beth and making fairy cakes is pretty simple,
You need icing sugar, sugar, water, butter, eggs, and flour.
Sieve the flour and sugar into a large bowl and add about 2 tbsp of water.
Add 2 eggs (or one depends how many you are making them for- one usually serves 12, - flour?, just take a wild guess!, so much easier)
Add about 4 tbsp of butter/margerine and fold together until you get a nice smooth mixure.
Pour into fairy cake cupcake cases and bake in pre-heated oven for 12-15 Min's.
They should come up with a spring when they are done.
After cooled a little, mix icing sugar and water together (maybe add food colouring to make it more pretty) and spoon on top of your cakes. Add sprinkles if wanted, makes it much more exiting and great to make with kids.
Hope this helped, good luck! :} x
For 12 cakes
100grams butter
100grams caster sugar
100grams self raising flour

Yeast
Little Debbie says that there is no ammonia used in the making of any of their cakes, mixes, or products.
flour
Flour
It is used for easy rubbing of fat into flour.
There are many powders to make cakes but the most used is probably flour
Some cakes are sweeter than others depending on the amount of sugar or sweetening in the ingredients used to make them.
to make them rise
Most cakes are made by first creaming the fat (butter, shortening, etc.) together before adding the eggs and other ingredients. There are only a few exceptions to this method (such as Angel Food cake, which has no fat in it), so this method would include all "standard" cakes, as well a fruit cakes, pound cakes, etc.
