So which is it?

I've been baking a lot of cakes recently. Not good for the waist line but excellent for the soul. They come quite high up in my list of comfort food. I love the look of them with pretty coloured icing, all the varieties of sprinkles. Then when I bite into one the creamy taste of the butter melting in my mouth takes me right back to those days when I baked them as a child with my mum on a Saturday afternoon. The problem I have though is what do I call them? We have always referred to them as Fairy Cakes but over the last few years everyone seems to have changed to use the American name of Cupcakes. I Googled both and it seems it can be either name depending on whether you wan to be British or American. I quite like both names but I think the males in my house prefer to call them Fairy cakes. They say is because cupcakes are the size of muffins and mine aren't and also we're British so shouldn't copy the Americans. What do you call them?

Last weekends Easter Fairy/Cup cakes
