Strawberry Pop Tart Cupcakes

Thank you for another great job Lizzy.

Your Cup of Cake 






The Story:
I will admit that I am not a big Pop Tart fan. But if they are sitting there, I will eat them because I will eat just about anything. But I remember them being a staple at family reunions. We would go camping out in the middle of nowhere or along some coast and we would always have some Pop Tarts on stand-by. Well, that and Tang.
