Fairy Tales of the Secret Forest.

Faerie Realm...Dance of the Wild Faeries

"Those who seek us surely find us
See the trail we leave behind us
Some bewildered, some enlightened
Some are brave, some are frightened

Are we kind or are we vicious?
Nectar poison or delicious?
That, my sweet, you will discover
Fairy foe, or fairy lover"

Lavender Fairy Cakes Ingredients

2 tbs of culinary lavender flowers either fresh or dried

2 medium eggs

2tbsp milk

4oz caster sugar

4oz self-raising flour

4oz softened butter

The Topping

Purple food colouring

12 springs of culinary lavender

12 oz of icing sugar

4-6 tbs of cold water

12 bun cases

1. First, set the oven to gas mark 5 or 190°C. Tip the sugar and flour into the bowl of a food processor, add the lavender flowers and whizz to grind the flowers a little. Sift the mixture into a mixing bowl, then discard the pieces of flower left in the sieve.
2. Then, add the butter, eggs and milk to the bowl and beat the mixture until smooth then spoon it into the paper cases in the bun tray. Bake the cakes in the center of the oven for 15-18 mins., or until they have risen and are just firm to the touch. Remove the cakes from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
3. Next, to make the topping, sift the fondant icing sugar into a bowl and then beat in 4-6tbsp cold water to give a thick, glossy icing. Add some food colouring to the icing to give it a lilac colour, mixing well so that it’s not streaky. Spread some icing over the top of each cake and, before the icing sets, place a sprig of lavender or other decoration on top of each cake. Leave the icing to set before serving.

Have a Wonderful Fairy Day

Do you know it's International Fairy Day today?

The fairies do, they are gathering as we speak to dance the night away

under the summer moon. I try to capture their gathering in my picture but

they fly so fast all you see is the sparkles they leave in their trail. There

is one though in a little pink dress, can you see her? I never put her in 

to the picture but she flow in herself to talk to Pegasus. 

I wish everyone magic on this night.

With days full of sparkles and laughter to follow.
