: I think 7lbs doesn't sound like enough.  You need to account for more fondant than is actually used because it has to be rolled out much larger than the amount you need.  Have you worked with fondant before?

: I am making a 6,10,14 wedding cake for April 26th and need to order Satin Ice fondant. In their brochure is states ounces for each size do they figure in the exact amount or a little over? If I calculated correctly I would need 4 pounds 7 ounces of fondant. But I need to make a 1 inch band around the bottom of the top and middle layers with dots. The bottom tier has a fondant white picket fence. Should I be safe with 7 lbs or should I make the bride pay for 10 lbs? TIA.
