I had this idea for a cupcake a while ago when I spotted these cute mini Corinthian biscuit sticks
in Aldi. Oh they were so cute and inspired me to dream up a Strawberry Sundae Cupcake! I used a Strawberry Cupcake recipe from my Primrose Bakery Cupcakes book then "iced" them with Marshmallow I made from scratch (remind me why I did that again?!) then poked in the corinthian stick and Will sprinkled them for me with pink and white sprinkle sticks. I had to rope in Will's help cos home made marshmallow is the most ridiculous thing to try and work with. I had it EVERYWHERE! All over the bench, all over all the utensils, all over my hands, up my arm, on my face, in my hair! I was like a small child with a vegemite sandwich. It was monstrous! I should have just microwaved store bought marshmallow then whipped them really quickly once they'd cooled a bit, but you live and learn these things!In the end (after Will cleaned up my marshmallow tornado for me cos he's the best husband ever and I had to rush off to work- he got a cupcake as payment) they were really yummy Cupcakes! The marshmallow gave them a little something extra, rather than the usual buttercream. The corinthian stick went soft after 2 days in tupperware though, so best eaten straight away. I loved them , and will make them again!!
