When you are baking a large cake (usually over 10"), the sides will often bake faster than the middle. Using a core or inverted flower nail helps to distribute the heat to the middle of the cake. This way, the middle bakes in the same time frame as the edges (so edges aren't hard or burnt). The core or nail often help to decrease doming in the middle of the cake also (less leveling is needed). Hope that helps.
