Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C), Gas mark 4.
- Line 2 bun tins with 24 paper cases.
- Cream Kerrygold Salted Butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy, either with a hand-held electric mixer or in a freestanding mixer.
- Gradually add the eggs, mixing well after each addition and adding a teaspoon of the flour if the mixture starts to curdle. Fold in the flour until thoroughly combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the paper cases, filling each one halfway full. Bake for 15-20 minutes until well risen and golden brown. A skewer should come out clean when pushed into the middle of a cake.
- Remove the fairy cakes from the bun tins and leave to cool on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, make the icing. Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and add enough of the water to make a smooth paste. Spoon the icing over the cooled fairy cakes and while the icing is still wet decorate with assorted sweets and sprinkles.
- To serve, arrange the decorated fairy cakes on a cake stand and watch the faces light up as you bring it to the table!
