1) The poet Phoebe Cary is talking about the woman who was baking a cake for herself.
2) The woman was very selfish and hence didn’t wanted the cake to share it with anyone, so she thought that the cake was “Too large to give away.”
3) The word “baking” is equivalent to the meaning of “cooking.”
4) When she looked at the cake she found it too big to give it to Peter. Hence, she went on to bake another cake much smaller to the previous one.
1.Here, the poet is talking about the short woman, whom Saint Peter asked to give him something to eat.
2.As she was giving it as a charity, she thought it to be too large to give it away. She kneaded another one but it was also of the same size when baked.
3.Baking means cooking in the extract.
4.She kneaded another one when she looked at the cake.
