Just call her "Cakes"...
We have been having fun with nicknames lately, with the girls getting to decide what nickname they would like for the day.  Holden, of course, is sort of stuck with "Cutie Pie."  Noella has a strong preference for "Buddy."  Mariel likes a bit of variety, but has tended towards "Baby cakes," which her Babci calls her.  She has decided that "Baby cakes" is a bit too juvenille for a girl of her stature (in elementary school and all) so has asked us to shorten it.  So some days she now goes by "Cakes."
