How Much Fondant Covers A 3 Tier Cake?

[@maggieburris1081]

Great tutorial! I have started doing a very light coating of vegetable oil to make my fondant shiny. Its lasts for a couple of days. The only issue I’ve run into is once the oil is on there, it’s difficult to attach decor. So I wait till the cake is done and then VERY light brush on oil.

Ahhhh that's a great tip!

Hi Karolyn, I really love your trace, cut and smooth technique for decorations but it wasn't really working for me with store bought fondant (and I tried lots!). I recently tried making marshmallow fondant and it's been amazing to work with. I'm in the UK, so not as easy to get marshmallows, but it's totally worth it! Thanks! xxx

I've had so many people say the same thing to me! I'll keep preaching the word until everyone gets it! 😂

Hello...will 500 gms of fondant cover a 12 inch w and 4 inch h dummy cake???

[@StephanyCanizares]

Hi! I need to do a 3 tier dummy cake, 4,6 and 8 how much fondant do I need? Thank you

[@KarolynsKakes]

I would use 2 - 2 1/2 pounds of fondant.

[@StephanyCanizares]

@@KarolynsKakes thank you 🙏

[@madelineS98789]

Great information. Does one batch of your marshmallow fondant make the amount you started with, the 3lb 5oz (give or take)?

[@KarolynsKakes]

1 batch makes approx. 2 pounds of fondant. When covering cakes, I do recommend you have a little more than the amount that is used!

Love this tutorial. Can you make a video on how to make black fondant? I want to make black fondant but I keep avoiding it because I’m afraid it’s not going to come out black like it should.

[@KarolynsKakes]

Watch this video at 7:20 to see how I make black fondant. Sorry I'm screaming, it's an old video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHXagJyMgt5-idE

[@KarolynsKakes]

And here is how I get the black fondant to a workable consistency: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4u3hGSBpKeojs0

@@KarolynsKakes thank you!!!!

[@guerdypierrelouis9939]

Thank you for this tutorial it was well needed, I'm just a little confused because you said 2lbs were like 454 g but for me it would be more or less 900 g .

[@KarolynsKakes]

Oops! That was a typo, gonna fix it now. Thank you!

[@kaybonette]

So your container of leftover fondant goes in the fridge? Thanks

[@KarolynsKakes]

Never! I store all of my fondant at room temperature. 😊

[@karenmckenzie8465]

What frosting are you using here?

[@KarolynsKakes]

This is my American buttercream covered with my marshmallow fondant. Those videos are linked in the description!

[@alguheim1moufeed268]

What is ur frosting is it buttercream or ganache

[@KarolynsKakes]

It's American Buttercream 😊

[@StephanyCanizares]

And what is the name of the powder? Thanks

[@KarolynsKakes]

It's Tylose Powder: amzn.to/4e9lOTI

[@victoriasmith2965]

I would like to try your marshmellow fondant but im scared cuz it seems difficult lol. I feel like a 2lb container of store bought only gets 1 of my 8 inch tiers covered and its stretched pretty thin. Mashmellow fondant must give more bang for your buck lol

[@KarolynsKakes]

It definitely does! I'll be honest with you...it takes some time to get it right. You gotta work with it to get it to the right consistency. A lot of people try once and give up.
