    The question doesn’t say anything about the packing composition of the boxes. Each box contains cupcakes, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the cakes are placed directly inside the boxes. (Each of them may be packed in separate packets or smaller boxes)

    So, the daughter took a the medium / larger sized box, ate the cakes in it, and put one of the other boxes inside the empty one, so that, in the morning, all available boxes (only two) contain three cakes (one of cake-containing boxes being inside another box).
