Answers:

I would suggest choice B, as if its stored properly you can use it again say for another baking project for the holidays!. But if you prefer going with 2 of choice A so be it!.

Buy B so you have enough for detail work and covering the cake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You should buy 2 packages of A!. 1 package won't be enough for 2 layers of 9 x 13, but 2 should be!. B will be too much so I wouldn't buy the 5 lb package unless you have a lot of other cake baking to do in the near future!. Although I guess you could freeze it if you don't need it now!. They told me in a cake decorating course that I took a few years ago that you can freeze leftover icing and fondant to use later!.

By the way we can't view the links when we click on them, but I was able to locate the fondant using the info you provided, but I still couldn't view the cake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
