I am making a tiered cake and would like to know approx. how much fondant a 15" x 5" circular cake would take. I've seen the charts but am always a little hesitant to go by their amounts. I's rather use my CC'ers wise counsel. Who can help me out here?

Here's the most comprehensive list of assorted fondant usage charts I could find:

Perhaps you could compare them and get a general idea of how much you'll need.
