Did you know that the inspiration of fairy bread came from a poem wri�en by Rob�t Louis Stevenson in 1885? We’ve got him to thank!

The truth is that Fairy Bread is really exactly that- bread! Baketivity was inspired to make a Fairy Bread Cake because cake is way more fun to bake and eat!

The original version is made by spreading butter onto white bread and covering it with “hundreds and

thousands”. What’s that? Sprinkles!

Fairy Bread was first heard of in the 1920’s- that’s 100 years ago! In Australia, where it comes from, it’s

very typical to serve fairy bread at children's birthday parties. No, thank you! We’ll stick to cake!
