Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a rose-shaped cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter into two portions. Tint one portion with pink food coloring. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
For the frosting, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream.
Place the cooled cake on a serving platter and frost evenly with the cream cheese frosting, smoothing the surface.
Shape roses and leaves from the fondant. Arrange them on top and around the sides of the cake as desired.
Sprinkle the cake with edible pearls for an elegant finishing touch.
Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour before serving to allow the decorations to set.
