3 of a Kind were a UK garage act, best known for their 2004 number one hit single, " Baby Cakes". Its members were Liana Caruana (a.k.a. Miz Tipzta), Nicholas Gallante (a.k.a. MC Devine) and Marc Portelli. Marc and Liana met the day they recorded "Baby Cakes". [1]

Career

2004: "Baby Cakes"

"Baby Cakes" went straight to number 1 on the UK Singles Chart, [2] [3] and to number 3 on the Irish Singles Chart. [4] It also just crept onto the Eurochart Hot 100 charting at number 91. The song also charted in Belgium, France, Netherlands and Sweden. 3 of a Kind never released a follow-up to "Baby Cakes", making them one-hit wonders in the UK. A potential follow-up track, "Wink One Eye", was put forward as the second single, but was pulled from the new release listings and never re-scheduled.

2014–present

Nicholas Gallante appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks in November 2014, as part of the "Identity Parade" round and it was revealed he is now a party planner.
