Fairy Cake Friday


I got sent a lovely little gift on Friday courtesy of Food For Think: a box of two fairycakes. In all this cupcake frenzy, we've forgotten the younger cousin; the smaller, daintier, pretty little fairycake that's not too sickly and isn't covered in mounds of frosting, but is simply a couple of perfectly manageable, easy bites' worth of satisfaction.

The fairy cakes were oh so terribly cute, decorated with a little ladybird by Mich Turner, cake decorator to the stars at the Little Venice Cake Company.



I was so smitten that I got slightly snap happy, trying my hand at for once taking somewhat nicer photos. Pretty, no?





Food For Think and her pals are on a mission to bring back fairycakes, our very English baking treats, and so have from this moment forth decided that every Friday should be Fairy Cake Friday. Hear, hear!

I'm all about fairy cakes too - the cupcake is so sickly, sticky and brash. Fairy cakes, or Queen cakes as my Irish husband calls them are much more subtle.

Queen cakes, that's a new name I've not heard. Definitely easier to manage, but I suppose cupcakes will always have their place too! x

Really lovely pics Huma - well done! Been trying to improve my own photography too - it's not easy is it ...at least food doesn't move though! These look so much easier to eat than the cupcake - no more of the indignity of frosting up your nose! :)

Thank you Katey - that's really kind. It's frustrating not being able to get photos right, but patience I guess! x

Generic Viagra can help with sexual activity. Viagra works on some of the muscles in your penis that help control the blood flow (when we're teens, the control over these muscles isn't always perfect which is why erections would sometimes pop up at inconvenient moments). Cialis encourages these muscles to let more blood flow into the penis when the time is right.
