What it is
These are small, individual cakes that are baked in paper cases. They are typically topped with a swirl of sweet icing and often decorated with sprinkles. The cake itself is usually light and fluffy, with a simple vanilla flavor. The icing provides a contrasting sweetness and texture. They are a popular choice for a treat or a small dessert.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining fairy cakes fresh, ensure they are stored in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain their soft texture and prevent the icing from becoming sticky or drying out.
