Silver and Black Cupcakes for a 30th

Another request. My brief was simple: 30 vanilla cupcakes, something silver and black, and featuring the number '30'. Here is what I came up with.

I was pretty proud of myself because I did these after coming home from my Mandarin evening class. I was up until 1:30am making them: dedication!

The black butterflies were made out of rice paper, and are completely edible. The '30's are also edible, made out of grey buttercream and sprayed with edible silver lustre.
