I can remember when I was young the cupcakes you bought were by Lyons and had a thick fondant topping much nicer than butter icing ..... Now I just think they are a glorified fairy cake but they do look nice. Like you Ann don't like them for weddings .

I don't even like them much either, all that gooey butter cream stuff. They can look pretty for little girls' birthday parties but no, don't like them for weddings.

Jenxx, maybe in the US fairies are simply overweight so they have bigger fairy cakes:-D

I do think the trend to have cupcakes instead of a wedding cake just looks plain silly!
Yet another US import, mutter mutter huff n puff!

Just another one of those imports from the US I believe,

first the yanks have to have the biggest of everything, "mine is bigger than yours" :-P

second it saved them from having to share a full sized cake "tight g*ts" :-P
