Aloha, I'm exhausted!

I thought that you are suppose to feel relaxed & ready to start going after vacation?! I just can't get myself out of vacation mode..... I keep finding myself saying, "What, I have to do laundry, clean the house, & make my bed?!" Ugh, I just can't shake this funk. Anyways, we found out before we went to Hawaii that my grandma has cancer & they are bringing in hospice so we planned a trip out to Arizona to visit her. So, I am leaving tomorrow with the kids & my wonderful sister in law & my husband is going to meet us out there for the weekend! Maybe that's why I can't get out of vacation mode, because I have already prepared myself to go out of town again. Maybe, maybe not. Anyways, I have a large order that I have been working on but I wanted to check in & say hi! Hope everyone is enjoying summer so far! Here's a quick sneak peak of our vacation......

Cupcake Fondue?! Anything with the word 'fondue' has my attention.......

SERIOUSLY, It doesn't get any better than this! Ok, one word: YUM! This recipe & idea looks AH-mazing! I am so doing this after vacation.... Enjoy!

Recipe:

cupcake fondue

3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup liquid (orange juice, fruit juice, milk, or water)
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Miniature-size cupcakes in the flavor of your choice, cooled and unfrosted
Assorted sprinkles, chopped nuts, and other toppings

1.Make a batch of your favorite mini cupcakes – homemade or from a mix. Make them nice and small so you don’t feel guilty about enjoying 2 or 3 of them. If you use paper liners for baking, remove them after the cupcakes have cooled. Pound cake or any other firm cake works well for skewering, but any cake will do. I used a simple yellow box-mix cake. Allow to cool completely before dipping.

2. Make the fondue: Whisk together powdered sugar, orange juice, and corn syrup.  Adjust the consistency with a drop of liquid or a dash more powdered sugar until you get have a smooth, thick glaze.  I used orange juice for the liquid portion to give it a citrus flavor and cheese-like yellow fondue color.  You could also use grape juice for a pastel purple, or milk/water and add your own coloring.

3. Pour frosting into the fondue pot.  There’s really no need to heat the mixture, but you can keep a small tea light or very low flame underneath just for looks!  Display sprinkles and toppings in small ramekins or portion cups and arrange around the fondue pot.  Skewer cupcakes in the side and dip the top half into the fondue, then flip the cupcake over and the frosting will drip nicely down the sides.  Sprinkle liberally with your favorite toppings.

Another Super Cute Idea! I like Winnie the Pooh but I also don't like doing parties that have character plates, character table clothes, etc. This is such a cute way to do a character that is very classy! Love this! Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!!
