My experience: Recently I was traveling from Philadelphia to Salt Lake City. The gentleman next to me was carrying a huge cherry pie in a baker's box. I was surprised! He was bringing it home for his wife as it was her favorite. He carried it in his lap all the way!! The FA ignored him totally.
I, too like to take home baked good for friends and family. Hve successfully taken items similar to banana breads, cookies and pastries in my carry-on duffle bag. Items are always screened. Once the agents was not convinced, so they opened the packed to look at a bread. But no real problem.
But in reality, I would save your mother a big headache and let her buy what she likes at the most sophisticated bakery in town.

Allowing a cherry pie on is surprising as it would be liquid for sure...and I would not doubt for a minute that a cake would be confiscated as well. I really doubt if any TSAer will allow that cake on.

Aliska, call the bakery, have them FedEx the cake, let your mom relax during the flight. She'll worry sick about the cake being dented, squashed, x-rayed, going bad if it's warm on the plane.
I have a 81-year-old father, and at their age if something does not seem right, can cause a major problem. You don't want to see her all upset over nothing.
Is it possible to get the ingredients from the bakery, and bake the cake after arrival? Probably FedEx or UPS is a better idea.
