Here's how far a sleeve of filling will go....
I'm working on two 4-tier wedding cakes this weekend with multiple fillings so I had a chance to see just how far a sleeve of filling will go:
I used one full sleeve of red raspberry and filled:
One 14" square
One 6" square
One 12" square
Then I mixed about 1/4 of a 2nd sleeve with some chocolate fudge icing to make chocolate-raspberry filling to use for:
One 6" round
One 14" square
I pipe a small dam and add filling that is just slightly more than 1/2 way up the height of the dam.
I've seen the question come up in threads before and thought it would be a good time to actually see how far it goes, and share with everyone.
