Petaling is the process of forming or shedding petals, or arranging something in petal-like layers.
In cake decorating and crafts, petaling describes creating overlapping curved shapes that mimic flower petals: She spent hours petaling the fondant roses.
The word also appears in descriptions of flowers opening or losing their blooms.
