I'm thinking of ordering a 8 sided petal dummy cake, but I'm curious how the measurements are. Does anyone happen to have one handy that can tell me, is it like 8in (or what ever the size) from the petal to petal or is it from the inside point of two petals across to the other side?
some pans are 5 petals, some 6 and some 8. would that make the measurements different?

Where are you ordering from? I'd like to try a petal dummy cake too. I don't have any petal pans but I'd like to try it out and see if I'm even capable of icing a petal shape!
Yeah Loucinda, that is where I was looking.
I wasn't sure if the petals were like hexagons. The measurements for hexagons are flat side to flat side, not point to point. I'm planning on using a 14 or 16in board, so I wanted to make sure the petal dummy I bought would fit on the board that size cake board.
And yes covering the petal shape with fondant or icing has me concearned, I seriously doubt I'd ever do a real petal shaped cake. I just thought the petal shape would be kinda of cute for my frog themed cake I am considering doing.
actually i think the hexes measure point to point.
IMO doing petals in fondant is way easier than BC, but they are all a PIA. Good luck!
Well I ordered the petal and as a back up plan ordered a hexagon. If I can't get the petal covered then well we will throw it out and do a hexagon.
