Snowflake flurry cupcakes

I made these cupcakes yesterday. I wanted them to look like a snow flurry but they didn't come out quite right. I used the Primrose bakery chocolate cupcake recipe. Not sure I am totally convinced but will let the taste testers have their opinion first. I hoped my buttercream wouldn't be so yellow but it was. I am still learning with cupcakes. The snowflakes were cut out of ivory royal icing but they still look so white. Anyway with a bit of glitter and some lovely wrapping they will do nicely.
