babycakes plural

Morphology

babycakes = baby + cake (transparent) = baby + cake + s

The compound 'baby' + 'cake' is an obvious affectionate formation and the final '-s' is a regular plural/vocative suffix, so the overall structure and meaning are directly inferable.

Etymology

Babycakes is a playful mix of baby ('young child' or 'someone dear') and cakes ('small sweet cake'), like calling someone cupcake or 'sweetie'. So it is used as a loving pet name for a person you care about.
