Per the a time article to which you linked in the OP, this kid was bringing in around $200 per month. That would be $2,400 a year.
Per the St. Louis Dispatch article to which the Time article linked, her parents said they'd given the kid her own refrigerator to keep her things in, her grandparents had given her her own mixer, and the parents were willing to make sure she got all necessary licenses and permits. The kid is making trying to make money to buy a car.
None of this adds up to a kid who is just selling to friends and family. This is a kid trying to get a business going. It is certainly admirable that she wants to do that. But if she's going to do it, she needs to do it right, and that means complying with health regulations.
