Iced Fairy Cakes

On Thursday evening, after a busy day,(for me, not for Ben), Ben came home from school and said that they had been asked to take in cakes to raise money for comic relief.
It was rather last minute, but I thought it would be shameful if after all this baking, I couldn't rustle up a few fairy cakes!
Mary didn't let me down - these were so quick to make, and turned out really nicely. The ones in the book are decorated with dolly mixtures, but I thought the cherries were a good look for Red Nose Day.
I felt very pleased with my little cakes and put them in a box for Ben to take into school. On Friday morning, we carefully put them into a carrier bag, making sure the box was facing the right way.
Now, it should be said that Ben walks to school on his own, and I follow later with Nathan. I don't usually see Ben in the playground, but on Friday morning, I happened to see him chatting to his friends. In his hand was the carrier bag with an upturned box!! My lovely cakes! Oh well, pride comes before a fall.
I wish I had thought to take another picture of the cakes after their visit to school. Ben had the sense to not hand them in, having seen them all stuck to the box, and each other, so he brought them home. They still tasted ok, they just didn't look very pretty!
Oh well, lesson learned - next time I bake for school, take the cakes in myself!
They scored 8.5, and a word to all you busy mums - they are easy peasy to make, and kids love them!
