Pretty cake, how did you prepare the buttercream in order to drape it? I'm new and draping looks so difficult to me I haven't tried it yet.

Rolled buttercream is different than regular buttercream. It drapes over the cake like fondant, but is a different texture and taste. There is a recipe here on CC or you can pm or email me and I will send you my recipe. I mixed the rolled buttercream with the fondant to give it more strength since the rolled buttercream wouldn't hold up as well by itself in the heat.
