Longevity Cupcakes

My grandma is turning 88 ! Well turned 88 last week.
And by popular demand, I was requested to bake a couple of cupcakes for the occassion.
I know how people are getting bored of just seeing names and ribbons on cupcakes, so i had to think of something different. Especially when the older folks would like something more traditional.

Googling, i found several designs that I kinda like and inspired me. So i came up with this !

Cuteness aren't they ! I actually love how they look. I mean i would definitely try airbrushing them next time, might make the pink a little more even. Cos mixing both white and light pink fondant kinda mixed it up a bit and they aren't so uniformed.

laying them out

I made the words stand on the buttercream just so everything won't look so flat and that there would be some pop out effect. So this is how it looks like at the restaurant that night.

looking pretty in a plate

i mean it looks quite good on its own and also pretty decent next to a mini cake doesn't it. Cupcakes are such lovely things to work with.
