This is just great! As a matter of fact, I use the term "Babycakes" frequently, when talking (informally, obviously!) with friends. I use it especially with greetings ("Hello, Babycakes!) or or goodbyes ("See you later, Babycakes!" I picked it up years ago from a clever and lively friend, and it has always stuck with me. So to you, Janie, I say, "Thank you, Babycakes!"
