<human>: I want to start that this will all sound really silly because it isn't a *real* problem, but I just want an answer to **why!**

My mother (61) and I (23) are very close, I would say one of my best friends. But one small, and really unimportant thing always gets me annoyed and confused. Whenever there is a holiday, I always offer to bake. I love baking and I'm good at it. Every time I put effort into making dessert for my family, I bring it to my parent's house and find out my mother has baked at LEAST one other LARGE dessert. I don't feel "upstaged" or anything, but I specifically make stuff for my family that I know they will eat and I make a certain amount so food isn't wasted. Every dessert ends up wrapped, put in the fridge, and forgotten about. I hate seeing that food go to waste.

Today, I told my mom I would cook breakfast on xmas for the family so it is ready for her by the time she comes home from church. I said it would be simple, bacon and eggs and my homemade cronuts because we both agreed there would be a large dinner she is cooking that night. Well, now she is insisting she makes this huge breakfast along with my bacon and eggs and cronuts. And I said to her, we don't want to waste food and the point of this is so we don't overeat and you don't have to cook. I guarantee she will end up baking it. It's just irritating. Why do you think she does this? I feel like it is some sort of female competition of "who bakes better?"

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Every time I tell my mom I will make food she ends up making a large dish causing for too many leftovers. Why does she do it?
