You can’t have too many sprinkles – Me
These most definitely do not go on my list of healthy recipes, but they are a lot of fun if you need a centre piece for children’s tea party.
This recipe makes twelve cakes.
Ingredients
- 200g self raising flour
- 200g caster sugar
- 150g softened butter or margarine
- 2 large eggs
- 200g milk chocolate
- 400ml double cream
- Assorted cake sprinkles
- 12 hole cake tin
- 12 fairy cake cases
- 1 silicone spoon mould – you’ll need to makes 12 spoons
- Piping bag and large star nozzle
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl placed over a bowl of steaming hot (not boiling) water
- Divide the chocolate evenly between the 9 spoon moulds and put in the fridge to set
- Cream together the fat and sugar
- Whisk in the eggs
- Sift in the flour and stir with a metal spoon until smooth
- Divide the mixture between 12 fairy cake cases in the tin
- Cook at 180C (160C fan assisted) for 12-15 mins or until springy on top
- Remove from the often and cool completely
- Whip the cream until it just holds its shape
- Transfer the cream to the piping bag with large star nozzle
- Pipe a swirl of cream onto each cake, starting on the outer edge and pulling up when you reach the middle
- Sprinkle with whatever decorations you fancy
- Take the spoons out of the fridge and remove them from the mould gently, pushing from the wider end so that they don’t snap
- Push a spoon into each cake at a 45 degree angle
You’ll need to eat these cakes straight away – if it’s a hot day, they’ll melt!

I had to come back and check out the recipe. This is on my list to make this week!
mmm yummy! have had to pin this for future sweet days.
I thought I had commented on this, I love the spoons, where do you get The mould? X
Bet they went down a storm, they look superb and I of course adore the chocolate spoons.
Oh myyyyyy these look absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Is it wrong that this is what I want for breakfast now? I think you should make a whole load of chocolate spoons to replace normal spoons. Imagine how much more fun everything would be (albeit completely impractical, but still).
What a lovely photo – and edible spoons, too!
Ooooooohhhhh!!!!!!!
Why do you drag me into these yummy treats! I’m on day 3 of my WW return!
These look fantastic. I’ll have to give these a go for my sons birthday at the end of the month.
