I wanted to make a present cake for the people at my DH workplace. I wanted to cover an 8" square cake. I'm not sure how many layers I will be making. Will one batch cover the cake and will it have enough leftover for a simple bow? Thanks!

Anyone?

The Wilton class III package cake is a 8 inch cake that was two layers. I made one batch of MMF and had enough to cover the cake and make the bow and ribbon,and had leftovers.

It depends on which size batch you're talking. I would do the large batch and just keep the left over. You MAY have enough for the cake but definitely not enough for the bow also.
Good luck!

Yes I used the recipe from here

16oz marshmallows
2 tb water
2 lbs powdered sugar

I added 2 teaspoons of vanilla flavor.

I rolled the cake to 1/4 inch but the bow much thinner.

Let me see if I can attach a pic

Thanks.

I couldn't get it to upload here because I don't know how to resize a pic. It is in my album now though.

The bow was made in class and that is why it is so flat. It didn't dry properly.

Okay. Thanks for all your help!

This weekend I made a cake that was 10" round and 4" tall. I made one batch (with 2# bag of sugar and 16oz marshmallows) and I still had some left over.
