Bride wanted a cake adorned with silver dragees and white sugar pearls. I tried a couple of different techniques to attach the dragees and pearls; but ultimately found that just laying them on one by one was the most effective. I piped on sections of piping gel and attached the dragees and pearls. I used sizes 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm in both colors. I didn't want to place them in any particular order, and placed them on willy nilly. Top tier is red velvet, Middle tier is chocolate, Bottom tier is white cake. Homemade fondant and gumpaste peony. The cake is far from perfect but turned out pretty well.
