Since the cup cake craze has exploded over the last year or so I have got involved and had a go at making them but I don't think anything can beat a traditional English fairy bun... simple yummy and not topped with sickly icing.
Its an mouthful of quintessential Britishness...and blooming yummy.
Enjoy.
