Directions

Step 1	Pre-heat oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6. Grease a muffin or fairy cake tin, or line with paper cases. Put the flour, sugar, margarine/butter and eggs in a large bowl and mix well with a hand held mixer for at least three minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 2	Add the blueberries, mix in gently and then a little milk to make a soft dropping consistency.
Step 3	Pour or spoon the batter into prepared tin or cake cases and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cakes are well risen and golden brown.
Step 4	Gently ease the cakes out of the tin, allowing them to sit for 2 to 3 minutes before doing so. Place them on a wire rack to cool.
Step 5	When completely cold, spoon the cream on top of the cakes and then arrange a strawberry on top, surrounded by several blueberries. Decorate them cakes with Jubilee decorations or other seasonal and festive decorations.
