Does anyone know where I can find a chart for how much fondant to use on square cakes.

Thank you! I looked on there earlier, I was just curious because they don't have the 16" and they don't specify on the square how much it actually took. I will just guesstimate!!!

I would take those lists with a grain of salt. Wilton says it takes 5lbs of fondant to cover a 14 inch cake. That's a lot of fondant. I don't know if I'm rolling mine thinner than you're supposed to, but it's not taking me that much. I think they may be trying to sell you more than you need. The cakes I made from their Having Fun with Fondant book had me color amounts for the different cakes. I tended to have quite a bit left over that went to waste.
