Hi all, any pointers on how how to do such a cake ? Is it bc or ri ? Make before and place or opposite ? Tia

that looks like all buttercream with an edible image running around the outside. 

you can pipe those flowers directly on the cake. 

Yep, exactly  what she ^^^ said.  Nothing says you cannot do some or all the flowers in royal if that's what you want.
