Trick turning over gigantic pastries? (9)
I believe the answer is:
stratagem
'trick' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'turning over gigantic pastries?' is the wordplay.
'turning over' is a reversal indicator.
'gigantic' becomes 'mega' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pastries?' becomes 'tarts' (tart is a kind of pastry).
'mega'+'tarts'='megatarts'
'megatarts' written backwards gives 'STRATAGEM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stratagem that I've seen before include "Ploy - start game (anag)" , "Manoeuvre - Ma's target (anag)" , "Start game with cunning plan" , "Scheme to outwit an opponent" , "Cunning manoeuvre" .)
