"Baby Cakes" is the only single released by British garage trio 3 of a Kind. It debuted atop the UK Singles Chart on 15 August 2004, becoming the band's only chart hit. Mixmag included "Baby Cakes" on their "40 of the best UK garage tracks released from 1995 to 2005" list. [2] The music video shows the band in a cake shop and contains several double-entendres. A follow-up song, "Wink One Eye" was recorded but was never released.
The song's title was inspired by the 1989 American made-for TV movie Baby Cakes , which starred Ricki Lake in the title role. In the book 1000 UK Number One Hits, member Liana 'Miz Tipzta' Caruana said the song was written in 1998, and she came up with the title after having seen the film that mirrored her own experiences: "The words are written about someone I knew, but generally it's based on the film's love story. Basically, the girl knows the man is 'The One' but he doesn't realise it". [3]
All tracks are written by Liana Caruana, Nicholas Gallante, Marc Portelli
