How should I go about attaching pearls around the bottoms of the tiers on a cake on the outside of a ribbon??? Like this:

....now I'm assuming here that these are a string of pearls and not individual ones.....any ideas? 
would it be possible to use a string of fake pearls?
Look closely at the profile of the pearls on the sides of the cake. Those are not whole beads. I think that is a pearl border from a First Impression Mold. The open cavity 1/2 mold.
There is also a CK pearl bead mold that makes perfectly round pearls. perfectly round pearls will stand off the cake a little more then that.
I would not use fake beads as the string shows and the beads are too a apart and it doesn't look as designer as that cake looks. That is a very pretty design!
