The mother tries to cheer up her daughter who is having a difficult time by offering to make her a cake. She explains that while the raw ingredients like oil, eggs, and flour don't taste good on their own, when combined they make something delicious. In the same way, God allows difficult times in our lives but uses them to create something better, though we may not understand at the time. We need to trust that God will not let us fall and will bring something good out of the challenges we face.
