fairy cake
Small frosted treat
A fairy cake is a small individual sponge cake, typically baked in a paper cup and topped with icing or buttercream.
The term is primarily British; Americans call the same thing a cupcake.
Fairy cakes are traditionally simple and dainty—the name evokes something small enough for fairies to eat: She made fairy cakes for the children's party.
