Luster Dust Painted Hexagon Princess Cake on Cake Central

This cake is for a 5-year old birthday party. Cakes layers are filled with choc. BC and covered in all white BC. Airbrushed outsides with luster dust. All flowers are fondant. Gum paste bows. Pearls are all hand strung fondant. Flowers, bow and pearls covered in luster dust. Cake drum is covered in fondant and hand painted with luster dust. Thanks for the help from Hawaii-five-0 and PeterLori1 for their tips on airbrushing LD on BC!!!!

Kate714- to make the ribbon roses...roll out fondant ~1/4 in. thick and cut 1" to 1-1/2" wide. Fold over lengthwise about 1/3 of the fondant. Tuck corner down to form center and then roll and tuck as you make three revolutions. Sweep the end piece downward and snip off extra fondant. Work with you fingers to get desired finished look. I like these better than plain ribbon roses (without the fold) bc they are fuller and bigger/bolder. Let dry (standing up on cornstarch). Thanks all for your comments

Thanks vovo379! (And everyone else). When I strung the pearls, I made sure the clear thread was super long. After cake was assembled, I literally looped the string right over the cake. I used one of the sets of green bobbles with wire as an anchor so the pearls didn't pull on the cake. When's your BD? We could make it together!!!!!

For this one. You would take the bow off the top and some of the pieces sticking up on the sides and start cutting. I'd serve some of the rolled flowers and decorations with the piece of cake so you don't end up with a pile of "stuff" just laying there when you're done.
