to cover a 16 inch square, either one or two layers..not sure yet which...will one batch of rhondas mmf cover that? Sorry I could not find answer anywhere, if this is redundant

Here's Earlene's chart: http://www.earlenescakes.com/Fondantchart.html

She says it takes 8lbs to cover a 14" square. I've never done a square that big so I don't know how accurate that is. I've covered a 14" round and it took one batch of regular MMF.

I don't think Rhonda's makes 8lbs...I think it's closer to 3-5lbs (but my memory may not be totally accurate). I think you're going to need more than one batch...Excuse my laziness in not looking it up, but does Rhonda's recipe state how much it yields?

not that I saw I looked there first.....I can't believe I have to make yet another batch ugh.......may have to bc the 16

Yeah, I look at it this way: Rhonda's recipe uses 2lb sugar and almost 1lb marshmallows. Three pounds of ingredients likely yields approx 3 lb of fondant, or perhaps slightly less.

By way of comparison, the MFF recipe uses 3.5lbs of PS, 8oz corn syrup, 4oz cream, plus a few other ingredients...getting you near to 16 oz of "other ingredients" in total... and the recipe yield states "3.5lbs of fondant".

Hope this helps!

I guess I will ask her for sure thanks

she says a batch and a half
