In between being small and sweet (4)
I believe the answer is:
twee
'small and sweet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in between being' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TWEE' is hidden in the letters of 'between being'.
(Other definitions for twee that I've seen before include "Sentimentally sweet" , "Niminy-piminy" , "Excessively quaint" , "Rather too pretty" , "Over-pretty, sentimental" .)
