This is a very simple question from a VERY exhausted woman. I worked at my job 72 hrs this week and had 4 cakes due this week. 3 done and gone, 1 to go. I have to do a princess castle. It's 2 - 12" squares, 2 - 8" squares & a 6" x 3" high round on top with 4 towers and turrets. My big question is how much fondant do I need? My brain quit working 2 days ago. I've been working on no more than 4 hoursleep a night for the last 5 days. Sorry for such a simple question.

Go to www.earlenescakes.com. She has a chart to tell you how much fondant per each size cake.

Good luck to you, superwoman!!

Thanx thats the one I saw but I think my brain is so fried from lack of sleep that I am having trouble figuring approximately what I need. I figured originally I needed approximately 13 pounds but by earlenes I think I need over 20 pounds but with being sleep deprived I'm sure I'm not thinking straight. And I have to color it pink so I don't want to knead 20 pds of pink if I don't have to.
