Babycakes Tiara Cutiepie Glitter Andrews-Elite (born May 23, 2011) is a British chihuahua. She is often featured in the media due to being the spoilt pet to pop princess Candi. She also belongs to Candi's fiance Callum Andrews from popular boyband Dante. Babycakes was given to Candi as a gift from Callum on June 26 2011 (the night of the couple's engagement when Babycakes was 4 weeks old). Since then, Babycakes has become a star in her own right, by starring in the MTV series Sweet Like Candi and being the face of "Hope", Candi's fashion line for dogs. In October 2011, Babycakes appeared as a housemate on URAPS Big Brother 2011, and made it to the live grand final, where she eventually ended up in 5th place. She has since gone on to have minor success on the charts, and owns the record for being the youngest act to ever chart.

Early life

2011: Life before fame

Babycakes was born on May 23, 2011 into a wealthy family, who were bussiness partners to the Elite family. She enjoyed a peaceful first four weeks, being pampoured and spoilt. During her mother's pregnancy Candi Elite informed the dog's owners she would be interested in having one of the puppies. Seven puppies were born, but Candi instantly fell in love with the youngest one, a white chihuahua. However, Candi was informed that the dog had already been sold and left heartbroken. It wasn't until June 26, 2011 where Candi's partner Callum Andrews proposed to Candi and revealed he had bought her Babycakes as a gift. And from that moment, Babycakes was launched into stardom in the UK and US.

Career

2011-present: Television and Modelling

Although Babycakes was not born during the filming of the first season of Sweet Like Candi, she does appear in the opening credits, in the summer of 2011.

Babycakes is featured weekly in tabloid magazines, with heavy focus upon her outfits, being dressed in very expensive dresses and accessories. She is well known for her spoilt lifestyle, often going to dog spa's and eating in fancy resteraunts.

On 06 October 2011, Babycakes entered URAPS Big Brother 2011 on the launch night. She acted as a "house guest" for the series, however she was a massive hit with the public and on Day 10 her title was promoted to that of a real housemate, meaning she was able to either win the series or be evicted. She stayed in the house for the entire duration of the series, and lasted until the grand final on Day 35, where she came 5th place (out of an overall 19 housemates) with 9% of the public vote. On 24 December 2011 Babycakes appeared on Candi's Christmas Gift. She is also signed up as supporting cast member of Sweet Like Candi (season 2), which began airing on 15 January 2012.

She will release a duet with Kym Richardson on March 17, 2012 titled "You Can't Help Youself (Babycakes, Kymmy-poo)".

The album was released 13 February 2012 and hit #1. In May 2012, "Bad Dogs" charted at #1 in Japan. In July 2012, Aimee Lyons revealed that "Bad Dogs" would be released as the fifth single from her debut studio album, due to the popularity of the song amongst her fans however the release was later cancelled.

Babycakes' music career continued into 2013, as she was featured on Sunflower of Shade's charity single "Stand Up For Sunflowers", along with fellow artists Vixen, Stacy Hart, Caymon, Savana, Sexy Star and Paige White.

Famous relationships and Personal Life

Babycakes is obviously very close to Candi and Callum, however she is also friendly with the rest of the Elite family and members of Dante. She also has a strong relationship with Blonde Ambition (Candi's closest friend at the time) however when both of them entered the Big Brother house, Blonde did very little interaction with Babycakes, something which the press revealed upset Candi. While in the Big Brother house, Babycakes built up a very strong relationship with popstar Hailey Klass. She also made friends with Kenya.

On 09 February 2013, Candi arrived halfway through an episode of The Uraps Factor revealing she was late as she had to rush Babycakes into hospital following an overdose after a session with Hailey, however she made a full recovery.
