Lifestyle Food The Best of the Worst Holiday Pinterest Food Fails Check out our favorite photos of life not quite imitating art By Lexi Dwyer and Ana Calderone Updated on December 5, 2016 01:34 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos 01 of 12 STRAWBERRY SANTAS Courtesy Ginatufano/Instagram Relying on delicate whipped cream for structural support might not be the best way to recreate a rolly-polly Santa (we're betting those "wins" only looked like that for a few minutes). 02 of 12 PEPPERMINT CANDY TRAY Courtesy Thatswhatchesaid.net Pinterest users say that making one of these tiered peppermint trays is as easy as arranging the candies on a cookie sheet and baking for eight minutes. But the dozens of botched attempts tell another story. 03 of 12 PEPPERMINT KISSES Courtesy of Rachel Flynn This Instagram user swears she "read the directions word for word" when making these festive treats, but something tells us she missed a step (or two). 04 of 12 CHRISTMAS TREE CUPCAKES Courtesy Salisbury722/Instagram Oh Christmas Tree … or, should we say, oh botched Christmas tree cupcakes: Such laughs you do bring us. 05 of 12 FROZEN COOKIE KIT Courtesy eAnnDay/Twitter We bet most little Elsa and Anna fans are too busy enjoying life to care if their creations don't resemble the ones on the box. 06 of 12 SPRINKLE COOKIES Courtesy ChaseThisBear/Twitter This Twitter user didn't let his blob-like (but still tasty-looking!) treats dampen his holiday spirit: "So fun we have plenty of #Pinterestfail cookies tonight," he wrote. 07 of 12 MILK AND COOKIE CUPS Courtesy SydneyAnn007/Twitter We might not leave these unstable-looking cookie cups out overnight for Santa, but we'd totally snack on them ourselves while binge-watching holiday movies. 08 of 12 CANDY CANE MOOSE Courtesy Carrigansjoy/Instagram It took us a moment to realize that this treat-craft hybrid was supposed to be, as the user says, a "buck-toothed moose," but now we're smitten by his homespun charm. 09 of 12 MINI CARAMEL APPLES Courtesy Addiezierman/Instagram Working with hot caramel can be tricky business, as this user learned when she tried to create what one commenter calls "the apples no one can actually make." 10 of 12 GINGERBREAD COOKIES Getty; Source Instagram; Inset: Getty When Kendra Wilkinson Baskett's baking attempt – which clearly included an assist from her kids Hank, 6, and Alijah, 19 months – turned into a bit of a disaster, the reality star did exactly what we would have done: she laughed. "We tried. Hahahahahahaha," she captioned the photo. 11 of 12 OREO TURKEY Courtesy Toyfoto/Instagram "This might be less creepy if it had eyes … but prolly not," wrote this bird's creator of the treat's slightly sinister appearance. 12 of 12 BAKED ORNAMENTS Courtesy Little_Sprout/Twitter "Why did I think my little person, who doesn't sit still, would allow me to press her hand into dough?" asked this user after seeing her finished Christmas ornaments. To this we can only say: The Pinterest force is strong.
