Display Wedding Cake

Display Wedding Cake on Cake Central

I've been working on this display cake for my cake studio since I needed more buttercream examples, and have been wanting to do a tall tiered hydrangea cake (I love these flowers). I had a really hard time smoothing the royal icing onto the styrofoam....any advice on doing better for next display cake iced in royal would be received graciously!!

there are pearls and icing on the cake. The dots doing up the side are icing, and there are two strings of pearls wrapped around the base of each tier. I did not put saran wrap on, but next time, I will. Does anyone know how thin or thick should the royal icing be when you put it on the styrofoam? I ended up dipping the icing in water and then smoothing, because the styrofoam did not have enough weight to let me work with the thicker icing.
