Hi, Mary Jane.  Yes, I used an extruder with the 3 hole attachment and twisted the fondant after extruding it to make the rope effect.  I used a 6mm bead maker by CK.  Drapes (swags) were done by hand, no mold.  I sprayed the petals and the whole cake with my air brush using pearl sheen and the fondant is by Albert Uster Imports.  As far as how many rose petals I used for the bottom tier, I didn't count them, I would just make a petal, attach it and then repeat until I had it all filled up.  I tried to use the ones that I made before hand, but because they were completely dry, the points (tops) of the petals were not completely flat and wouldn't lay right on the cake, so I made them all fresh and then applied them.  So I started at the bottom and worked my way up, using edible glue and only glueing the point (top) of the petal to the cake. Worked much, much better.  I should have counted them all for the next time I have an order for this cake, but I didn't...it was way, way too late for that once I finished this.  Hope this helps.  :o)

Beautiful cake! Did you use an extruder for your roping? What mold did you use for the beads and did you use a mold for your drapes? What did you brush your rose petals with? Did you make your own white chocolate fondant or what brand did you use? How many rose petals did you have to make for the bottom tier?
