Haha, nice analogy! It’s the first recipe I ever baked as a little kid (in the form of fairy or butterfly cakes) as it was so straightforward 2 or 4 or 6 ounces of everything and halve the ounces for the number of eggs. Obviously I’ve refined it a bit since! But I remember doing it at home aged around 4 years and again at school at 5 and being amazed at the transformation. Our first cooking lesson at senior school aged 11 was to make fairy cakes using fruit. Lots of kids tried super crazy stuff with some spectacular disasters but I remember I just stuck to that basic recipe, spread the tops with jam, covered  with desiccated coconut and half a glacé cherry on top. They looked the business, I can tell you! Think the other kids hated me.  :D

I used fresh cream and strawberries in this one for a treat. In the summer, I’m going to make an afternoon tea - I usually make my own scones and cake but I’m going to make the bread as well this time!
