It has nothing to do with the content as there are no fairies included. They get the name from the certain way in which they are decorated. When the cake is ready to be iced we scoop out the top with a spoon. Not a deep scoop but making sure this disc of sponge is kept in one piece and put it to the side. Fill the scoopy-out part with fluffy butter icing. Then cut the spare circle of cake in half and squidge the pieces into the icing at an angle, opposite each other. Thus creating a little pair of fairy wings on your cake...then sprinkle with a little icing sugar and that's your fairy cake. Could also have something to do with the size as they are small and usually for one person...

Of cource not you silly person! Fairy cakes contain fairy DUST! AKA "white powder" that makes you see em. The fairys can been seen depending on how much "white powder" is used to dust them off.
