The purple and orange sprinkles, or hundreds and thousands or ‘nonpareils’ that I used came from Aldi.

This basic iced fairy cake recipe starts in exactly the same was with a simple vanilla sponge. I also published my Vanilla Butterfly Fairy Cakes recipe as this was another of the things that I started baking when I was very young. I created my Chocolate Cornflake Cake recipe around Easter for the same reason. And I am a huge fan of getting kids into the kitchen to cook and bake.
