fairy cakes
Small iced treats
Fairy cakes are small individual sponge cakes baked in paper cases, typically topped with icing and sometimes decorated with sprinkles or a cherry.
The term is British; Americans call them cupcakes.
Fairy cakes are traditionally daintier and simpler than their American counterparts: We made fairy cakes for the school fete.
