Find area of the "circle". And, then, it is a simple matter of dividing.

Do you know how to find the area of the circle with given diameter?

6 to 7 as the area of one cake will be pie * r(square) that will be equal to 50.24 square inch if we take pie=3.14 ans since diameter is 8 inch radius will be 4 inch.... 

but we have 6 such cakes so we will require 6 to 7 batches of topping.... actually 6 only we can neglect the .24
