I like'd that, I tried to make the broken pieces wedge shaped at first, but realised that wouldn't work! Nice one.
10, 11 and 12 are not digits, they are 2-digit numbers. Therefore, I reached a different solution. The first broken piece has the "8" and the "9". The second piece has the "6", "7" "10" "11" and the "1" of the 12. The remaining piece has the "2" of the 12 and the "1", "2", "3", "4" and "5". The total of the digits on each of the 3 pieces is 17.

Sum of numbers 1 - 12 = 78. each piece totals 26.
Pretty easy after that by trial and error.
