Super soft Vanilla Cupcakes with a Marshmallow fluff topping & and drizzled with melted Chocolate / Sweetie Pie Cupcakes.
What is Sweetie Pie made of?
Sweetie Pies are by the Beyers brand which is whipped crème on a wafer biscuit, covered in chocolate & the Cutie Pies are by the Woolworths brand which is vanilla marshmallows on a wafer biscuit, covered in chocolate. These treats are so delicious & remind me of the Chocolate Log, just in a different shape.

- 6 egg whites
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/4 tsp of cream of tartar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Super Soft Cupcakes
- 4 XL or Jumbo eggs (separated

- 1 1/3 cups cake flour
- 1/4 cup Maizena

Instructions
Marshmallow Frosting
- In a dry stainless-steel bowl, add your egg whites.
- Place it on a pot or double boiler with boiling water, making sure the bowl is not touching the water, and keep the pot on the stove on low heat.
- Start whisking the eggs by hand, add the sugar, and continue to beat until the egg whites are warm and the sugar is dissolved.
- It would be best if you stirred only until the eggs were warm. Otherwise, you will cook it.
- Take it off the heat and use an electric handheld beater or electric stand mixer to start beating and add the vanilla and cream of tartar.
- Beat continuously for about 10 – 15 minutes until the frosting is nice and fluffy.
- Use immediately.
- Pipe with a round nozzle.
- Leave it in the fridge to get a bit cold then drizzle melted chocolate over it or dip it in melted chocolate.

- Add it to the egg whites & mix it well, beating slowly.
- Sift the flour, Maizena & baking powder
- Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture in 3 batches on low speed until smooth.

I have never heard of these Esme, but they sound and look delicious! When I was growing up, my best friend’s mother would always make cake. Usually 3 times a week! She always used cake flour and I always thought the texture was so different from cakes made with regular flour. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Cara.
Yes flour does make a different to the end product and it will all depend on what you make.
Hope you will try this out. Super delicious.
