Bake

Make the Icing
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If desired, add a drop of food coloring to achieve a pink hue.

Ice the Pop Tarts
Once the Pop Tarts have cooled, drizzle the icing over the top of each pastry. Allow the icing to set before serving.
