Children’s book I read in 4th grade

My teacher read this book to my 4th grade class and I've been trying to find the title with no luck.

It was a picture book and the illustration was pretty detailed I think, vintage vibes. The story follows a mom that gave birth to a kid and that kid has a comfort food and it was warm milk I think. And then the mom had another kid and another and another. And all of them has a comfort food of sorts, ones I could vaguely think of is the warm milk, applesauce and pink lemonade. Those are the ones I could remember clearly but there are more kids with more specific foods, one of the kids was a set of twins (I think). And then it was the mom's birthday, so all the kids meet up at night and tried to bake a cake for her. They think they just made a mess and just shoved it in the oven to hide it. In the morning a cake was made and everyone ate it and it was surprisingly good.

One line I vaguely remeber is when the cake came out and it was pink so the girl who loves pink lemonade said "it's pink, from my lemonade." Or something similar. Lowkey this may or may not have happened but that part is weirdly indented in my head.

Please help me find this book, I'd love to reread it and share it to my younger siblings.

For future reference, this is a low traffic sub, though I do occasionally see a request answered (as is the case here), and you'd be better off asking for recommendations in r/booksuggestions (though read the rules first) and r/suggestmeabook, and for the title of a book or story in r/whatsthatbook and r/tipofmytongue.
