"Baby Cakes" is the only single by UK garage trio 3 of a Kind. It reached #1 on the UK singles chart. A follow up "Wink One Eye" was recorded but was never released. It was also the song that kept Can't Stand Me Now by The Libertines off top-spot in the UK. Despite this success, they never had another chart hit. The music video shows the band in a cake shop and contains several double-entendres. It was dedicated to in loving memory of Joseph Caruana who died in an accident on 19 December 2001.
