Definitions
A term of endearment applied to a young woman, combining the sweetness of honey with the warmth of cake as affectionate metaphors. The term is playful and affectionate rather than sexual, though like most pet names it depends entirely on context and relationship. Not in wide current use; feels slightly old-fashioned.
'Come on, honeycakes, we're going to be late,' her grandmother called from the hallway.
