Fabulous Fairy Cakes!

We have made fairy cakes in Reception this week.

We thought about the importance of washing our hands before baking and we named all the ingredients. We took it in turns to mix the ingredients together - we had to be really careful when pouring the mixture into the cake cases. Mrs Bailey put the cakes into the oven and we had to wait for them to cook.

We iced the cakes and added lots of sprinkles.....yum!
