All About "baking"

Butter Frosting

This creamy, buttery frosting is perfect for topping cakes and cupcakes. Add a little citrus zest or extract of your choice for a special touch.

Fairy Cakes

I don't know anyone who doesn't adore cupcakes and for kids, calling them Fairy Cakes just makes them all the more desirable. For me, a Fairy Cake would be light in color and bright in flavor, and if it were topped with what looked like little fairies that had alighted there for a rest, that would be perfect. Use butter frosting to top the treats.
