[Glitterfairy]

I really want to do some baby shower ones!

They are brown muffin cases

 

[Eoz]

I have some fabby ideas and had made cakes for yrs but just want that extra special touch this time.So you bake in muffin tin i take it.Also hun would they fit in a cupcake wrapper ok?

 

[Glitterfairy]

I've never used a cupcake wrapper but cupcake wrappers are usually quite big so i would have thought so?

Yes i use a muffin tin

 

[Eoz]

Cool thank you.I kinda guessed you all did muffin size cakes as fairy buns are so diddly.
Will have a practise run as i'm moving before the big bake.Thanks again x
