I am making a 50th Wedding Anniversary Tiered Cake where I am utilizing the diamond pattern on the sides of the fondant covered layers. I will be applying edible pearls at each diamond point in the pattern. How do I get the edible pearls to stay in place on the fondant? Do I pipe a tiny dot of buttercream in each diamond point to ensure that the pearl with stay in place? See....I am rambling....I need help! LOL!!!

I think you might be better off using royal icing.

Mix a little merinque powder with water and use a small paint brush to put a dab on your pearl. It dries clear and you wont have to worry about icing squishing out aroung the pearl and being visible.
