A CupCakes shop opened here last year that makes cupcakes for ......................... DOGS :-0 :-0 :-0 I used to like fairy cakes and butterfly cakes But if you think your cupcakes are too sweet and sickly ......... you should taste the ones over here. Everything is usually much sweeter over here :-P

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 3,638 Send Message	:-S :-S :-S Really confused now, I thought: Fairy Cakes = posh buns with icing Butterfly cakes = buns that rise, top cut & stuck into a blob of butter icing Cup cakes = buns that do not rise, topped with fondant icing to fill up the case Muffins = big un- iced buns

	To me Cup cakes buns with piped butter cream on ( yes I can eat one ) and fairy cakes are buns with a bit cut out of the middle , then you put on a blob of butter cream with the bit you had cut out you cut in half and placed back to back on the cream to make fairy's wings thats a fairy cake :-D

	Think I can answer that one - Queen cakes are fairy cakes that contain raisins (or some other sort of dried fruit)! ;-)
