I would like to know more about using a flower nail in the center of a baking cake. I have heard a few mentions of it but wasn't sure when/why/how they are doing it. thanks!

You use a flower nail in place of a baking core for helping to distribute the heat more evenly when baking larger sized cakes. I put it in the pan with the flat side down in the pan and the "nail" side pointing up, then pour in the batter.... it definitely helps the cake cook more evenly and dome up less.

Oops, forgot to say this... it's obvious, but make sure you remember to remove it!! lol... It's easy to grab ahold of and pull out when you flip the cake out of the pan.

Make sure you coat it with shortening or cooking spray so that it doesn't stick to your cake. I've only used them in my 12 x 18" pan (I use 2 nails for that one) and it seems to work out great!
