I have a cake coming up in April and they want a 2" wide fondant band around the 12" cake. She gave me a 15 ml bottle of rosegold 100% edible paint to paint it with. Does anyone know if this will be enough paint? The bottle looks so small ,but the band is the only thing I am using it on.

If it's a good brand that offers good opacity, then I think you'll be fine. I've painted 8" and 10" fondant tiers with edible paint before - using a 25mL bottle, I was able to complete the full tier with about 1/3 of the paint left. You could get a back-up bottle just in case.
