Fairy Bread is the ultimate "gotta smile" food.
I Dare you to eat some Fairy Bread and not to smile. :P
The taste is really nothing spectacular, but the memories and joy it brings back, is something not found in many foods.
No matter what you may have heard, Fairy Bread is not only for kids' parties.
Big Kids love Fairy Bread too!
At my recent Mad Hatter Tea Party themed 30th - the Fairy Bread was fast to go! There are sooo many ways to make Fairy Bread, and so many things that can make it even betterer and more specialer! ;)
My first tip is to go to your local bakery and ask them to slice your bread long ways, so you get big long pieces. This will mean less waste if you use cookie cutters to cut shapes out of the bread.
**This is also a great tip if your are making sandwich platters. Save time by making one big sandwich of each flavour and cut it up, rather than lots of smaller ones.**
Oh, and that was my second tip. Use cookie Cutters to cut shapes out of the bread! TO go that little step further - you can use a shape to suit the theme of your party.
Thirdly, butter the bread well ensuring good coverage, then place butter-side down into a plate/bowl full of hundreds and thousands, lightly press, and gently shake off excess sprinkles. In my years of experience of Fairy bread - it gives the better coverage of sprinkles to bread than sprinkling over the buttered bread~ and the hundreds and thousand stick better too!
Fancy Fairy Bread..... again so many options.
- If you are having a big party, perhaps you could ask your baker to make you a few special loves of "coloured bread" pink is popular, but maybe green of blue can "boyify" your Fairy Bread!
- The addition of musk sticks in the picture above make the butterflies special.
- The use of colored Icing can make it special. Use this idea on a plain milk arrowroot biscuit and sprinkle with hundreds and thousands for a "fairy bread" that won't dry out too quick outside.
