What is it?

A cake server my mother gave me

Why does it matter?

My mother had this cake server for as long as I can remember. She used to make elaborate birthday cakes for me and my sisters. When I moved out of the family home and started living on my own, she gave me the cake server. She stopped making cakes once we grew up. It reminds me of all the beautiful cakes she made for us, the birthdays we celebrated and her efforts to make our childhood nice.
