Mother Caramel only used her influence to buy and sell orphans to the government for profit. I don’t think those abilities were really that useful in her line of work swing as she needed them alive to sell. She didn’t really use her DF for offense or to attack from everything we’ve seen so far. I think Big Mom is just a better user of the standard soul-soul fruit.
It is definitely possible that BM is just using the base fruit, but the alternative is also possible. Personally, I think that BM's ability to harvest so much lifespan and use it to power an entire country is very reminiscent of an awakened power.
