To find the leftover flour, first add the flour needed for the bread and cake: $3 \frac{1}{2} + 1 \frac{2}{3} = 4 \frac{7}{6}$ (simplifying to $5 \frac{1}{6}$ cups). Then subtract this total from the flour she had: $6 \frac{3}{5} - 5 \frac{1}{6}$. Converting to improper fractions for easier calculation, we get $33 \frac{3}{5} - 31 \frac{1}{6} = 39 \frac{3}{30} - 31 \frac{5}{30} = 8 \frac{3}{30} - 31 \frac{5}{30} = 1 \frac{13}{30}$ cups left over.
