My family love scones. Sometimes we even have a proper afternoon tea using one of the many tea sets we own. Which is odd in itself as only one of us likes tea......................
Well these scones are super simple to make and taste gorgeous just fresh from the oven with jam and butter, cream would be even better but we never have any. They are best eaten the day they're made, but frankly I can't see them lasting any longer than that anyway.
This blog will mostly be dedicated to honouring my favourite recipes, whether they are brand new or old family classics. I'm going to try and bring together all the fabulous food I love, so hopefully people can find something they want to bake themselves. I might also include a few tales from my life, if I think they're interesting enough for you. Yours truly, Cupcake Fairy

Millionaire Shortbread
While this is a recipe for millionaire shortbread, it's also a caramel-solution (caramel cupcakes) for those who can't find tinned caramel. That part of the recipe is highlighted in yellow to make it easier to find. It is a bit more work, but worth it if you fancy a ridiculously sweet cupcake.
This is undoubtedly the best millionaire shortbread recipe....................................................................in the world (as Jeremy Clarkson might say). It was given to me by someone I used to know and I think it's only fair that I share this irresistable confection with the rest of the world.

Coffee Cakes
This is a quick and easy recipe, perfect if you're in a rush, and it uses simple ingredients too. The cakes taste really lovely and moist so long as you use enough water. Too much means the mix is so runny you can just pour it into the cases without using a spoon, but the chances are if that's the case, you've gone a bit over board. The moistness of the cakes means they'll keep for a little longer than normal, so they're good to make as gifts if you fancy spending a bit longer decorating them.
