If you love Pop Tarts so much you want to celebrate your birthday with them, this DIY Giant Pop Tart Cake is the one you need. Perfect for lovers of the iconic toaster pastry as well as Gilmore Girls fans, this cake recipe was invented by the blog Studio DIY.
Resembling a giant Pop Tart, this homemade cake has a strawberry jam filling. You can create your own with a rectangular vanilla cake (whether from a box mix or your favorite recipe), vanilla frosting, food coloring and pink royal icing. Royal icing has more of a Pop Tart appearance, but you could also experiment with buttercream or other frosting varieties if you prefer. Sprinkles are also a great touch.
