I am making fairy cakes tonight for a party tomorrow. I have a lovely light recipe for the fairy cakes but the icing that I made for them last time was really dry, does anyone have the recipe for lovely light fairy cake icing, nothing fancy, just the basic will do

Brilliant, thanks
Is water temp important?

I prefer buttercream - a bit of marg, beat till soft add a few drops of vanilla and a load of icing sugar. Add a bit of water if it's too thick!

Marg....MARG????? you mean best lurpak don't you :)

Nutella is also nice spread on fairy cakes esp with a few sprinkles on top.

Also you could swap the water for some cordial for colour and flavour

The icing in this recipe worked really well for us:
