These are white cupcakes with milk chocolate buttercream icing. They are topped with black fondant and rolled in edible silver beads. The flowers are handmade out of gumpaste.
I found these gorgeous cupcakes on Flickr and copied them exactly, even the stand they are on. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take pictures of my cupcakes. I took them to the event and arranged them, then had to leave quickly for a family emergency. These pictures belong to a cake decorator in Australia whose idea I duplicated. The only difference was I used black cupcake papers. I liked the stark contrast of the white on black and silver.
