I think we all know that I am the worst at blogging. Some people have a natural talent for keeping up with their blog… or perhaps they’re just a little more disciplined than I? Either way, I know that I’m terrible at it. And as I’ve said numerous times before, I’m going to make an effort to be better at this blog thing – especially when it comes to blogging sessions and weddings. Pinky promise.
Kicking off my new blogging campaign is the first wedding of the year for me (yes, I’ll get the sessions from earlier this year up on this bloggie very soon). You might remember this couple from the Wedding Giveaway in late 2011. They were the lucky winners as voted by all of you. 
Melissa and Rob celebrated their wedding day with their closest friends and family in an intimate ceremony in the beautiful Fitzgerald Suite of the Seelbach Hilton Louisville. There was lots of laughter, tears and plenty of love to be shared on their day. It was truly a day that I was beyond honored to be a part of.
Congratulations Melissa and Rob! I wish you all the best.
UPDATE: If you copied the cupcake recipe down before March 9, 2012, please adjust your recipe to include 1 cup of water. I forgot to add that important ingredient to the list! Oops.
My baby had a birthday party this past weekend. I normally buy pretty cupcakes for the kids’ birthday parties… or whenever strikes my fancy. However, with my addiction use of Pinterest, I was feeling extra crafty this year and wanted to give it a try myself. Which is sort of a HUGE leap for me as I am NOT a baker. Crescent rolls are always a little black on the bottom in this house.
I’m quite proud of my non-baking self. Were they perfect? Nope. Did my baby love his cupcakes? Yep.
Yeah, that’s right. I used BOX mixes… but they didn’t taste like box mixes! Recipe below.
And just because this is how we roll in the Fowler family… here are 2/3 of my brood being vampires with their ticket prize loot.
Cupcake Recipe
- Box mix of choice
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3 large eggs

Buttercream Frosting
