"to over-egg"
in phrase over-egg the pudding: Go too far in embellishing, exaggerating, or doing something. ‘if you're telling fibs, keep them simple—never over-egg the pudding’ https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/over-egg
example: "I think he's over-egging it!"
A hoo-ha, from the Oxford English Dictionary
A commotion, a rumpus, a row.
The OED gives several examples; the one most pertinent to the OP's question is:
1971 Country Life 27 May 1328/2 Some of these lovely irises may..be grown..successfully without much hoo-ha.
Merriam-Webster says:
great excitement or concern about something.
An example, which I made up, of the usage the OP is looking for:
Sandy made a big hoo-ha about preparing dinner, but all she did was microwave a frozen pizza and open a bottle of wine.
