: I use the formulas in her book which deal with quantities for assorted cake layers when I'm baking wedd
If you were a baker you wouldn't need to use that book.
..you'd already know more than it contains...more importantly you wouldn't use the info it contains because thats not how we do it.
Someone like terry who's planning to dedicate himself to become a fully qualified pastry baker won't need it IF he does the training, you can't learn to be a pro from someone who's not.
Its probably usefull for yourself in that you aren't specifically trained,by trained I mean at least 7 yrs apprenticed, in pastry.
I wasn't saying you shouldn't buy it, I advised him not to bother with it.
