I'm going to be making my daughter's 4th b-day cake and would like to do one of those barbie in a dress cakes, where the dress is the cake like a ball gown, and she'll be on two 8" round cakes layered as a stage. I'd like to put fondant around it. I found a 2 lb blue fondant tub for under $12. But how much do you think I need for JUST the barbie dress part and how much for just ONE of the 8" rounds? JoAnn's has a 4 pack of 4.4 oz tubes of multi color pastel fondant for $7.99. It has a light blue. I could do each round a different color, and the bell of the dress the blue (making Cinderella). Would 4.4 oz be enough for each round and the cinderella dress? I won't be fondanting the bottoms or tops of the rounds, just the sides. And won't be fondanting the bottom of the bell of the dress. Also, do I put on thin frosting before the fondant or just the fondant?
