Hi there,

Royal icing virgin here, keen on making my little one's first birthday cake. I know, risky!

I'm using 8' cake pans, will do three layers for the cake. My question is, how much icing do I need? I'm getting the Renshaw one from Lakeland but not sure if I'll need one or two packs. If I need two, should I roll both together to make one large sheet? Finally, are there any blogs/videos out there I should watch to get my head around the whole icing situation? I know I could just buy a cake or get someone else to do it but I really want to make my baby's cake and obviously want to make it right. Welcoming feedback and tips with open arms!!

Sounds like rolled fondant, not royal icing.
Its always better to use more than you need, cut the excess off.
Just youtube rolled fondant.
