Luster Dust And Royal Icing Scrollwork

Do you pipe the scrollwork, let it dry, dust it (or paint it), then add it to the cake or do you pipe the scrollwork on the cake, let it dry, then dust (or paint) it ... or something else?
If you piped it on wax paper then put it on a round cake your pieces are going to be flat and not curve with the cake. I'd pipe directly on the cake, then paint on the dusts. If you dry dust them you are probably going to get flakes of color everywhere. If you paint it on you will have more control of where it goes.
I use royal icing and luster dust all the time - let the royal icing dry and then paint on the lustre dust and then let it dry again. There's no point trying to do it with dry lustre dust as it won't stick to the icing.
