Hi,

I only have muffin cases and don't wanna buy any more cases...

............................

and can you make fairy cakes in muffin cases? Why yes you can - they will be bigger fairy cakes Just !!! slightly longer to your cooking time, or don't fill the cases up

I'll add this to the main fairy cake thread later

Did this last week for my friends daughters birthday - huge fairy cakes with lemon frosting - delish!

Edited to add - we hid them till the kids were gone.....

I quite often do this and make lovely big cakes for parties etc

they are baked.. just cooling now..

Here is another question for you then.. because I know you like them :rotfl:

I have icing sugar to put on the top.. what can I do to make it taste nicer. I have lemons, limes, oranges etc.. can these be used to flavour the icing?

I don't have any chocolate or sweets.. :(:(:p

You can make fairy cakes in muffin cases, but IME, not the other way around I#ve tried it twice (to check that the first time wasn;t a fluke) and ended up with biscuits
