Why 'Nigella's' fairy cakes?

[TsarChasm]

A fairy cake is a fairy cake isn't it?

I thought I'd make some and went in search of the famous Nigella recipe everyone raves about. I'm sure they're very nice, but what's so different about it? I'm puzzled.

Why is she so well known for the humble fairy cake of all things?

i think it may be because you just wang every thing in the food processor, and they're dead easy.
they're alright, nowt amazing.

Not sure but I think one of her books has a huge pile of them on the front.
I wish we had eggs...would love to make some now. Mine would be Be-ro fairy cakes though

Be-Ro book of Home Baking is the best!!!

mmmm, no idea I've never tried (or heard of) them! I just use a classic victoria sponge recipe (sometimes subsisting some flour for cocoa) and am famous for the lushness of my fairy cakes.

Be-Ro?

she decorates them in such a poncetastic way, it looks like she's vomitted up the contents of a Cath Kidston store all over them.

Aah now I get it lol!

at Cath Kidston vomit.
