Angela Reeve if you cake is 4 inch high then 6 or 7 inch long stripes will be fine as you just need about an inch or so overlap for the bottom and top. The width is up to you...
Angela Reeve the reason I used 7 inch was that I had another tier to go on the to so I didn't want the ends of the stripes to show, meaning I had to cover a bit more than an inch of the top.
Love d technique.
love it
I found the calculations a little confusing . I'm trying to pleat a 14 inch by 4 inch cake how long should my 7 inch oblong of fondant be?
