Coffee Fairy Cakes

Some recipe classics never go out of fashion, and fairy cakes top the list! Also known in American English as cupcakes, these small cakes are good for single serving.

Fairy cakes are perfect for baking with kids: they're a quick, easy and yummy introduction to cooking and you can let their imagination run wild with the decorations! Pleasing to every kid's eye and common on cupcakes are the cake decorations like frosting and sprinkles.

Nowadays, cupcakes are not only made for normal days for kids, they are now present in wedding celebrations, and parties. Maybe the magic that this simple and small piece of cake brings to everyone who is young at heart can be attributed to its colourful toppings and sweet taste.

But why should the kids have all the fun? With just a little tweaking, fairy cakes can be turned into grown-up fare as well, perfect for a mid-morning coffee break or tea in the afternoon.  

Gourmet cupcake recipes come in many varieties and flavours made with a specific ingredient, baked into the muffin—such as blueberries, chocolate chips, cucumbers, raspberry, pumpkin, cinnamon, date, nut, lemon, orange, banana, peach, strawberry, almond, and carrot. Filled with mocha or espresso, creamy coffee cupcake recipes are clearly not for the kids.
