What was the significance of Maudie' two little cakes and one large one?

the significance of the cakes was that by giving jem a slice of the big cake instead of his own small cake like scout and dill was that the big cake was a symbol of him becoming an adult in an unspoken way from ms. maudie. this was right after the jem was so devastated by the tom robinson being charged guilty to raping mayella and he became so upset about the unfairness of the charge since he was obviously innocent. Hope this helped :)
