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.
I found this on the website listed
Size of cake pan Layers Shsape Needed to work The cake took
6" one heart 1 lb. 1/2 lb
6" or 7" two round 2 lbs 1 lb.
8" or 9" two round 2 1/2 lbs. 1 1/2 lbs.
10" or 11" two round 4 lbs 2 1/2 lbs.
12" or 13" two round 5 1/2 lbs. 3 1/4 lbs.
14" or 15" two round 6 1/2 lbs. 5 lbs.
16" or 17" two round 7 lbs 5 1/2 lbs
18" two round 8 lbs 6 lbs
6" two square 2 1/2 lbs
10" two square 6 lbs
14" two square 8 lbs
Hope it helps. Best of luck
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.
