When I saw a recipe in Woman's World that included my all time fave, Pop Rocks, into a cake...I am so totally in!
I made this and brought it to a family get together on hubby's side. His cousin R looked at me and said "there is a popping in my teeth, and it won't stop...and it is AWESOME".
So, dig out your old acid washed jeans and whip this up for a fun change.
Note: I could not find the orange cake the recipe called for, so I used strawberry.
The flavor was great, and the color accented the speckled frosting very nicely.
Ingredients:
2 Boxes Orange cake mix
read box for additional ingredients needed
1 Lb salted butter (room temperature)
7-8 Cups confectioners’ sugar
6 Envelopes Pop Rocks
Large Sweet Tarts or Bottle Caps for decoration

Just look at the pretty cake, ignore my random groceries that I didn't bother moving from the background!
What a fun cake, Jay, and I love how you have decorated it! I loved the eighties and it's great to see things like this coming back. Thank you so much for sharing, and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party. Hope to 'see' you again this week!
