Cut from dense EPS foam in our own workshop in Florida.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEight corners, eight chances to get it wrong\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn octagon is the most demanding of the flat-sided shapes. Every one of the eight faces has to be the same width and every corner the same angle, or the shape reads as lopsided from across a room. At this size that error is magnified — a half-degree off on one face is visible from the other side of a reception hall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOurs are cut with a closed, fine-cell surface, so fondant lies flat and all eight corners hold their line when you handle or dowel the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA base tier\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this size the piece carries everything above it, so flatness matters as much as symmetry. A real cake this wide would bow under its own weight; foam does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasured point to point, the same convention as our hexagon and triangle dummies.
