Pop Tart Cupcakes

So, in keeping with my last post, I thought I would continue the breakfast food theme…

These are some tasty cupcakes that are a cinch to make that will surely get you some oohs and ahhs…you know, if that’s what you’re going for.

I will say that I buy my kids Pop-Tarts for breakfast on occasion. I had some friends when I was growing up that weren’t allowed to eat them, because they were “junk food”.  I always felt sorry for those friends because, let’s get real…Pop-Tarts rule.

I suppose there isn’t a lot of nutritional value to the Pop-Tart, but they do have fruit in them, and that has to count for something, right?

We have an internal debate going at our house on the most superior Pop-Tart flavor.

These are the discussions we have at our dining room table!

We sway between the National Health Crisis to Pop Tarts…

I am a Brown Sugar Cinnamon girl and so is my 6 year old, but for the rest of the house Strawberry wins.

So I will debut my Strawberry Pop Tart Cupcake.

It’s pretty simple.

Here you go…

Bake your favorite vanilla cupcake.Then you’re going to want to fill it up…

I used my “poke-a-do” from Kupcake Konz, which worked great, it’s like a giant metal straw…

I filled my cupcake with some yummy strawberry preserves with a squeeze bottle.

Then I frosted with vanilla buttercream, gave it a drizzle of preserves, sprinkled with some colorful nonpareils and cut my strawberry Pop Tart into wedges for the garnish.
