Well, I'm not an expert, but here's what I do. I set the wheel out & put the cake on top of it, inside the circle for the correct size cake (10" cake in the 10" circle). Then, if I'm dividing the cake into 12ths, I mark with a toothpick at each mark that has a 12 on it. I don't know if that makes sense, but I hope it helps. Maybe someone else can make it clearer.
