(2) Make the large pearls by rolling fondant in the middle of your palms firmly. Some shortening can be used to arrive at smoother pearls. Leave these to dry. Preferably overnight.

(3) Use a circle cutter to cut out circles sightly larger than the pearls. Brush the circles with a bit of water and place the pearls in the middle. Wrap the edges of the circles around the base of the pearls.
