francypants   441 #13 Posted October 28, 2012 Fairy cake recipe from BBC showing fairy cake with icing ?? http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/fairycakes_93711  Yes fairy cakes can be topped or filled with anything you like ,be it cream , icing etc. but they are not flat on the top ! They are baked until risen above the paper case. A proper cup cake is flat with a plain layer of icing level with the top of the paper case.
