Fairy cakes are the British version of American cupcakes. The key differences are cakes tend to be a sponge cake and no gobs of buttercream on top, just a light glaze with some decorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time I made these they were a disaster. Yes, you really need superfine\/caster sugar to make them. And be sure to sift the flour before measuring. It is a step I often skip, but the extra weight from the flour and undissolved sugar made a disaster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made special thanks to Adams Extracts and Fresh April Sprinkles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I used plenty of Adams Extract<\/a> vanilla in the fairy cakes and icing as well as the food coloring. John A. Adams began making and selling his Green Plant Sarsaparilla extract in 1888 in Battle Creek, Michigan. In 1905, he moved his family to Beeville, Texas.  Working with just $6.71 worth of materials on top of an old icebox, John A. Adams created a new formula for vanilla. His wife tested it by whipping up a cake and announced, \u201cJohn, this is the BEST flavoring I have ever used.\u201d \u201cWell, that\u2019s old man Adams BEST,\u201d he responded. The name stuck, and Adams Best was born! Today, Adams manufactures and markets under several Adams Brand banners, including Adams Best\u00ae, Adams Extract\u00ae, Adams\u00ae Seasoning & Spice, and many more.  To learn more about Adams Extract, to shop their products, or to find delicious recipes visit https:\/\/www.adamsextract.com<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
