I am also entering these little stunners for the August Forever Nigella event and the theme is Picnics. These would be brilliant for a sweet ending for a picnic and are easy to transport in a tin.
These little Fairy Cakes (cup cakes) are always popular when I bake them, especially when served at my bi-annual “Here come the Girls” tea party in aid of local charities……..

Wow..These look lovely. Never tried lavender in my recipe but this looks like a good place to start. Loving the cakes! 🙂
Thanks Curious Cook, it is really lovely in cakes especially, but you must go lightly as it is a pungent flavour!

Thanks very much Sarah! I am pleased I was able to squeak in at the last minute!
