Pinterest is killing me.
Really it is. My demise has began.
It’s making me sit on my rear for hours at a time and skip workouts and go to bed at a highly unreasonable hour and make things like this cupcake fondue. All signs point to a heart attack if you ask me.
Why didn’t someone warn me just how addicting it was is? Why doesn’t my home look like any of the ones I pin? Why does it make me want to stand in front of the stove all day like it’s 1955? Why haven’t I ever made cupcake fondue in my incredibly deprived life?
And more importantly, why didn’t anyone tell me that wasabi peas were so… wasabic? My tongue hurts.
[As a side note, how cute are my little cupcakes’ brightly colored unmentionables way up there? Heather sent me those a while back. I love cupcake liner lingerie.]
Remember when I gave you a sneak peek of these pictures on Facebook yesterday and you all thought I made brownie pops? Tricked you, didn’t I?
You should be glad.
This is soooo much more exciting.
Funner. Prettier. Fancier. Sparklier.
So awesome that I make up words to describe them.
Not only are they super fun, but they are 100% customizable. Unless you want to make some sort of vegetable cupcakes and dip them in some sort of something not sweet at all. Not allowed. That is unacceptable.
Cupcake Fondue
idea from pintsizesocial via bakeitpretty
for the mini cupcakes: Easiest would most likey be a boxed mix of your choice, but I used this white cake recipe.
for the “fondue:” You can use either melted white chocolate, vanilla cream glaze, or any other frosting of your choice of course. I think it would be great to have multiple fondues (chocolate, vanilla frostings) but I’m not sure how realistic it is – it wasn’t for me!
toppings: various sprinkles, shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies, etc.
This is really so simple. All you need to do is prepare your frosting or melted chocolate of choice (if it is a glaze/melted chocolate, I suggest keeping the heat on under the fondue pot. If it is frosting such as buttercream (which is possible but would be challenging for “dipping.”) keep the heat off under the fondue pot. Assemble small bowls with your toppings of choice. Bake your cupcake flavor of choice in mini liners and serve!
Now here’s a serious question: I bet you didn’t think I liked sprinkles this much, did you?

I just drooled. This is the best idea EVER.
omg, you sound like me! I become glued to the internet for hours, skip workouts, and sleep at odd hours and then i wonder why i have a little tummy fat and am always tired. I LOVE YOUR BLOG – you are so funny!!!
I’m trying to comment, but I keep scrolling back up to the pics with jaw dropped to floor. I’m about to scroll up again…for a 4th time.
You. Are. Amazing!
This is the cutest idea. How fun this would be for a birthday party.
I LOVE YOU, JESSICA!
I don’t want to alarm you, but I think it’s possible that we’re soulmates.
Thats’ very cute.
I’ll try it soon.
Thanks.
Cutest thing ever. I think cupcake fondue would be fun for a kids’ birthday party!
You soooo had to go there, didn’t you? I’m going to be dreaming of these…day…night…always…
I should have really never discovered Stumbleupon. All of you food bloggers rock and well my hips are not going to like me, which is why extra exercising is in the works. I have never been a good baker, unless of course the recipe is right there. This is wonderful!
Sprinkles are the way to my heart. Last night I rolled a banana in some colored ones in the spirit of Easter and color. Weird? No. Delicious? Yes.
you are brilliant what a fun idea for a party!
Ha1 Pinterest kills me daily…it’s such a time suck, but I love every minute of it! This fondue is right up my alley!
Oh my gosh!!!
THESE ARE AMAZING! 
oh these are way too fun!
they’re adorable
I think this should be at the melting pot for dessert ; ) how yummy! I love all the sprinkles too!!!!
Best and cutest idea ever. My kids will have the best parties on the block!
What a great idea! These look so mouth-watering and adorable. Perfect for Easter
This may not have anything to do with cupcakes or perhaps it has everything to do with your cupcakes, but please tell me that there’s a future cookbook or at least a cooking show in the works for you…
If I was cool and had book agent, I’d send them straight here. This is not sucking up, this is just me wanting easy access to all your recipes. Okay and maybe a little sucking up…
XOXO, Maria
Brilliant! Seriously I love this idea!
If you ever want me to send you some wasabi peas, let me know = )
p.s. I’m new to pin interest, can you invite me? How does that work?
Oh my. (I think I say that every time I’m here, but oh.my.) cupcake fondue?!? might be the best idea ever!
I can’t even get on pinterest. There is a waiting list now it said!
Genius.
All of those colors and miniature cupcakes make me giddy. I am just staring at my computer screen with a big goofy grin on my face.
This is so creative and beautiful! You really do have a way with sprinkles
Happy Easter!
Where’s the bacon?
This is such an awesome idea for a bridal shower!
Ok – Pintrest is seriously SO addicting, I just discovered it. Question, how do you create an account? Can anyone create an account? I requested an “invite” but havent got an email from them yet… How did you sign up?
wow, you totally outdid yourself! i think this is your best post yet! LOL
love this idea! im gonna use it for a potluck this week. Which frosting did you use?
Oh wow! This is perfect for the tea party I’m hosting on the weekend. Thanks for sharing!
I have truly died and gone to heaven. This is a fantastic idea!
What a super cute idea! The cupcakes are picture perfect (and look so yummy)
OMG, what a great idea. These look so cute and like so much fun. Sounds like the perfect plan for a party.
Wow… love this idea!! they look SO GOOD and not to mention pretty!! This would be a great idea for a girls birthday party, or even a girls night out. I love all of your recipes.. every single one looks soooo so good!!
Oh my gosh, how did I miss this post! This is AMAZING. So pretty. So good. So clever. Goodbye post Easter-egg diet.
this is my personal heaven! Love it!!!
I think….this is….amazing.
The sprinkles on top of sprinkles? No words.
I. LOVE. THIS. My bachelorette party is coming up and I think this will be a lot better than getting plastered at a bar. I’ll enjoy it a lot more, anyway!
OMG! This is perfect. I have my daughters summer Bday at a park every year. I always leave the cupcakes/cake home until it is time because Im afraid the frosting will melt in the heat. Now I can bring the cupcakes and just melt the chocolate when it is time. She is turning 3 this summer and this will be a blast!! Im planning 3 pots and 10 toppings. Thanks for this time saver!!!!
Super cute! I love how it was like a conga line of sprinkles : D
this is so stinkin’ brilliant i can’t stand it. clever girl! i’m thinking girl’s night in with cupcake fondue for dinner!
