Yes I agree. I made a 3 tier anniversary cake ( sorry no pictures) and all I did was put them on before the buttercream crusted. It worked beautifully. 
I just did a cake this last night , pic is my photos 2 tiered square with red roses. I actually let the buttercream crust and smoothed with viva. I attached the homemade fondant pearls this morning. I just painted a little water on the spot and attached the pearl it worked great. First time I tried this.
This is a silly question (maybe):
If you put fondant pearls on the bottom edge of your tiers, and make a stacked cake that you assemble at the reception location, do you wait to place your pearls after you get there? I am wondering if the attachment on each tier is sturdy enough to survive transport or if you wind up with pearls rolling all over.
Thanks!

You would attach the pearl border after the cake is stacked... this is why I stack all my cake prior to delivery so all I have to do on-site are touch-ups.
