Just wondering if 5 lbs would be enough to cover my 6/8/10 tiered cake and then the 12 " cake drum?

I usually make MMF, but my test run didn't go so well last night (although it was VERY humid here in WNY).

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Global Sugar Art has a chart for how much fondant is needed for different sized/shaped cakes. http://www.globalsugarart.com/?id=24

looks like you could squeeze those out of 5lbs. but you wouldn't have much wiggle room.

My vote would be YES!

I made 3 lbs of MMF for my son's birthday cake, which was a 10" and an 8". I also used some of the MMF to construct large teddy bears, AND to decorate, and I still had plenty left over.
