Try putting your fairy cake tin on another baking tray (or in a spare cupcake tin, if you have one) instead of directly on the oven shelf, and try putting the tray on a higher shelf.
Did it make any difference at all when you reduced the cooking temperature?

What temperature are you using? Fan or ordinary electric oven or gas?

you could also just cover your tins in foil, i'm guessing the coating on them is dark.
