Question: how much fondant is needed to cover a 9 inch round cake?
Answer: Begin by gathering your ingredients. To cover a standard standard-sized 9 or 10-inch cake with fondant, you will need approximately 2 pounds of fondant. You can use purchased fondant (be sure you get "rolled" fondant as opposed to "pouring" fondant), or you can make your own marshmallow fondant or rolled fondant.
