The following post was submitted by EPF reader Kristin. Thanks, Kristin!

The original pin — add red food coloring to white chocolate and put in a chocolate fountain for “blood fondue” at Halloween:

Says Kristin: “I really wanted a fun halloween party this year … I thought the kids would get a kick out of edible chocolate blood! Bought ingredients, mixed, prepared, and it immediately began to fail. The chocolate wouldn’t come though the fountain, so I manually tried to twist it to help it get started, and there was pink chocolate everywhere! I couldn’t get it that deep red color either. The kids wouldn’t eat it … The adults wouldn’t eat it! I thought it’d be a little cheaper than dipping chocolate, but it actually cost more and was a complete waste. Fail!”

Oh no! It seemed like a good idea in theory, but this recipe failed harder than Ryan Seacrest high-fiving a blind man:

Candy Corn Cupcakes Fail

The following post was submitted to us by Tracy at MadeFromPinterest.net. Be sure to check out their site for other Pinterest fails (and wins!).

The original pin – make chocolate cupcakes and let them cool. Then cut the top out in a funnel shape and layer in the colored frosting:

Says Tracy: “Everything was going fine until I went to cut the cupcakes. When the first one didn’t turn out, I decided the knife I was using wasn’t sharp enough. So, I got out one of my ‘expensive’ knives thinking that was the problem. Five cupcakes later, I ended up with the same results on every one. All the colors ran together as I cut down through the cupcake. Although they tasted great not one ended up looking like the original pin!”

Nothing like a good food fail to ruin your day:
