Queen cake or Cup cake? I call them Queen cakes but my daughter calls them cup cakes, when did everything get so Americanised? :think:

Cupcakes. They're all cupcakes.

smudgie 13-02-2015 01:45 PM
Top one is an iced Fairy cake, 2nd one is a butterfly cake, the deep one is a cup cake.

An original Queen cake is a Fairy cake with currants in.

A poorly made cupcake (possibly baked by a child?)

I'd just call them cakes. If there was no icing at all, I'd call them fairy cakes. It's only really the last few years that people have started calling them cupcakes, before that cupcakes were only found in America.

InOne 14-02-2015 04:03 PM
I just call them buns :/

I agree with the first three definitions Smudgie, but I've never heard of Queen Cake before.
