With my vision of her story, two things. Firstly, she loves her daughter (see picture below).

Secondly, I believe that she enjoys baking. She dreams of baking those huge cakes that are shaped like Movie Characters and so. However, due to financial difficulties and lack of motivation (depression), she does not bake (unless it's a special occasion, like her daughter's birthday). She doesn't afford to take lessons either, so her baking skill is quite low.

Does that make sense? It's hard to write stand-alone poem with a story ahead. I hope it didn't create too many questions.
