I didn't know the curse-giver had to be alive to remove the curse? In Shrek, Fiona's curse is lifted by true love's kiss as in many other stories. This doesn't require a resurrection to take place. To me, the witch was cursed and by removing hers, it removed the one on the baker. Not sure why you have much emphasis on the witch's mother. Can't a girl cast a curse and die and not have to deal with it after? Why can't a curse just simply end? This is also a story with giants and maidens in towers, so plausibility certainly isn't an issue. Certainly the curse may be reversed because she loses her powers and not because of what they do for her, but again, just because there isn't an active "ok, I am lifting your curse, Baker" doesn't mean it didn't just happen on its own. Perhaps the curse reversed the moment she drank the milk or right before turning youthful again. I guess i'm failing to see why this is a big deal now..
