Bake cake and allow it to cool completely.
Cut the cake in half.
Place one half of the cake on a cake board.
Spread icing on top.
Place the other half of the cake on top of the icing.
Ice the entire cake smoothly.
Roll out white fondant and spread it over the iced cake.
Cut off excess along the base of the cake with a pizza cutter.
Use a pencil to draw petal shapes on a sheet of wafer paper. Draw 6 big petals and 6 smaller petals.
Use scissors to cut out all the petal shapes.
Brush pink petal dust on 3 big and 3 small petals. Brush blue petal dust on 3 big and 3 smaller petals.
Outline each petal with black edible marker.
Use very little corn syrup to stick 1 big blue petal and 1 big pink petal together.
Continue to stick the big petals together in alternating colors, using very little corn syrup. You will end up with a big flower.
Now, stick the smaller petals in a similar flower formation on top of the big flower.
Stick a big edible pearl in the center of the flower with very little corn syrup. Allow the syrup to dry.
Then, stick the flower on the side of your prepared cake, using corn syrup.
Use black edible marker to draw an abstract design around the flower on the white fondant.
Wrap the base of the cake with ribbons. Enjoy!
