I am making a round cake, with 2 layers, each layer is 3in high. How much fondant do I need to cover this cake?
I have a lb made up right now but am thinking I'll need another.
According to the Satin Ice web site:
http://www.satinfinefoods.com/product.htm
Cake Diameter Net Weight
6"................................................10 oz.
8"................................................12 oz.
10"..............................................18 oz.
12"..............................................24 oz.
14"..............................................48 oz.
You'll need to allow extra for your extra tall tier, but I hope this helps.
Yes thank you!!!
It's going to be 8" on the bottom and 6" on the top.
Thank you again!
This place rocks. 
Ok now maybe I'm confused!
What is a layer, versus a tier?
Here's what I'm doing:
2 cakes, 2in each on bottom for a 4" tall cake on bottom. 2 cakes, 2in each on top for a 4" tall cake on top. The bottom cake will be 8" in diameter and the top 6" in diameter.

A layer (typically 2" tall), stacked on top of another layer of the same diameter is a layer cake, AKA a "tier" of multiple layer cakes.
What you are making is a standard two-tier cake (with 4" tall tiers)...
What you originally posted is that they were 3" tall layers which would amount to a 6" tall layer cake or tiers.
Ahh, thank you!! I am new at this (does it show that much??) so I've got a LOT to learn. I haven't taken any classes and am kind of learning as I go. And of course, from you fine people.
