I will also chime in! I have known quite a few 12-15 mo olds
who refused solids while exclusively breastfed and seemed to
continue to thrive until they accepted solids.

Since the baby is happy with her sippy cup, I wonder about
other drinks that could be providing nutrition and which she
might accept, such as:
smoothies (if she tolerates soy/dairy, then yogurts mixed
with fruits and/or juice and thinned down as needed)
veggie/fruit juices such as carrot/orange
soy/rice/nut milks
broths/thinned pureed soups/miso soup

My reluctant eater accepted popsicles--mostly because they
just didn't seem like food at all--especially enjoyable in
the hotter months! And again, they can be self-fed.  Any of
the above drinks could be frozen into [pick one: popsicles,
ice lollies, ice blocks].

Warmly (actually hotly, it is 90 degrees and humid
today...again!),
