Dear Claudia, As a baker, I feel it depends on the size certainly of your cake..The marzipan can be thinned by warming it and if this is a one layer cake it would easily cover..If a two layer cake, it may depending on the size. I am afraid that you must experiment a bit with the different sizes. Doris C

For a 9" round, 3" High cake you probably need 2lbs of Marzipan. Knead it out over castor sugar (Confectioners, in USA) and roll to a 'minimum thickness" of 1/4". I personally prefer a 3/8" layer. I hope this helps, good luck!

I agree with 2 or 3 inches more. You have to measure the top of the cake you want to cover plus twice for the sides. So for example, let's say you had a cake that is 8 inches in width and 4 inches in height. You would add 8 + 4 + 4 = 16. But then add 2 more inches for a total of 18 inches of rolled out fondant. As for using the mat to apply the fondant; After you roll out your fondant on the mat to the desired size, gently roll the mat up from one end to the other into a tube shape. Then put your fingers in each end of the mat/tube and starting on one side of your cake, start unrolling the mat and draping the fondant across to the other side. I hope I explained that well enough...LOL Also, if you are new to fondant, I would advise you to avoid the Wilton brand fondant as it is not very friendly nor is it remotely tasty. I personally like Fondarific and Satin Ice, both of which are available here on Amazon. Hope this helped! :)

I just completed a ten inch, three layer cake and crumb coated it, and it fits - with absolutely no room to spare. As a crumb coat is very thin, I can tell you this will not hold a fully decorated, three layer cake.

The standard cake pan sizes are 6, 8, 10, 12 inches, etc. I have never seen an 8.5 inch pan. I would use a 9 inch paper. Some of the papers may not be exact but I have found extra works fine. Just push the paper around the inside evenly when you butter and flour it. I probably wouldn't trim it. My cakes turn out fine.

Outside height is just over 2". The recipe used in it would make 3 layers for an 8" cake.

This box is divided into 1-1/2" spaces (squares) I don't know if will be ok as I don't know how big your cake decorating tips are.

I'm not exactly sure but I have covered a 2 layer 9 inch cake with one container with plenty to spare and a half sheet cake with plenty to spare. I don't think it will fit a whole sheet cake though

I make a 2 and 1/2 pound recipe and divide it up between 2 of these pans. If you have a bread maker machine, their recipes usually show the size in pound of the loaf you will be making.

It depends on the shape of your cake. Here is a good rule of thumb for calculating how much fondant you need to cover a cake:ROUND CAKES:6" cake with two layers (total height of cake 4") = 18oz8" cake with two layers (total height 4") = 24oz10" cake with two layers (total height 4") = 36ozSquare/rectangle6" cake with two layers (total height of cake 3") = 14oz8" cake with two layers (total height 3") = 18oz10" cake with two layers (total height 3") = 24oz

It will not line up to make exact equal pieces if you are trying to mark an 11 x 13 pan The squares (pieces of cake) are 2 inches. You could make it work if the pieces on the edge of your cake are smaller than the center of the cake. Just place the center of the template on the center of the cake and press down to mark. As a side note, I love this press!

It depends on how big your cake is.. It's not square.. It's just the outline of the pirate that peels off onto the cake

Measure the size of your cake pan and choose a box that is slightly bigger. Plenty to choose from.

I'm not sure. I bought this as a gift for a Friend. She says it is the best pound cake pan she has ever owned. I wish I could be of more help.

I have used this cake stand that has 15 inch top for many wedding cakes and large cakes for other occasions using a 14 inch cake (14 cake pan) for the bottom tier. I love it! It is perfect and beautiful!

The usable weighing surface is about 5.5 inches X 5.5 inches. If the material slightly extends past this it seems to be no problem.I use it mostly to weigh dough for baking equal quantities.

I don't know. I got this for a gift for my Friend. It's the same size as the type- "old pound cake pans". My Friend has baked in it several times and loves it. Sorry, I can't be of more help.
