Album Description
Available in:
"Baby Cakes" is the only single released by British garage trio 3 of a Kind. It debuted at the top of the UK Singles Chart on 15 August 2004. A follow-up song, "Wink One Eye" was recorded but was never released. Despite this success, they never had another chart hit. The music video shows the band in a cake shop and contains several double-entendres.

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 #1 Hits, member Liana 'Miz Tipzta' Caruana said the song was written in 1998, and came up with the title after having seen the film that mirrored her own experiences, saying "The words are written about someone I knew, but generally it's based on the film's love story", she said. "Basically, the girl knows the man is 'The One' but he doesn't realise it."

User Album Review
Poppy as anything, some discerning UKG fans would have filed this under cheese and not given it the time of day. But its chart success is undeniable, and it arose impressively from a time where garage was dying out to prove the genre could still cut it in the mainstream.
