Preheat the oven to 180 C/170 C fan/ gas mark 5.
Line a patty tin with cake cases, if you have no cake cases, grease and flour the individual holes.
Beat together the sunflower spread, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
Sift the flour into the bowl with the baking powder. Stir in until well blended. Spoon the mix into the cake cases, if using.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until a skewer comes out clean when inserted. Cool on a rack before decorating.
To make the icing, mix together the icing sugar and egg white powder with a teaspoon of water. Add the colouring as required. You may need to adjust the thickness with icing sugar or water so that it is right for piping.
To make butter cream icing, mix together the icing sugar and sunflower spread. Add colour as desired, and spoon on to the fairy cakes.
