Wow djmastermum, the fairy cakes were absolutely wonderful. I adored them. Gosh, I think I ate most of them myself. They certainly did not disappoint. A light and fluffy sponge cake with the most decadent cream topping. The white chocolate was a perfect choice to partner with the cake and strawberries, garnished with a light sprinkling of icing sugar, sheer perfection. And yes, I did make a pig of myself and will do so again. I can't wait. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.
