A Cake-Eater, when he's not trolling for jazz-babies at the local speakeasy, likes to loiter at a girl's house and be pampered, especially by being served his sweetie's baked goods-- and of course some degree of sexual metaphor might be inferred. ¹
2. Noun. (slang) someone of upper-class background, or who has been excessively well-off ¹
