3 of a Kind were a UK 2-step garage act, best known for their 2004 number one hit single, "Baby Cakes". The members were Liana Caruana (a.k.a. Miz Tipzta), Nicholas Gallante (a.k.a. Devine MC) and Marc Portelli (a.k.a. Marky P), who recorded "Baby Cakes" the day they met.

2004: Baby Cakes

"Baby Cakes" went straight to number 1 on the UK Singles Chart, and to number 3 on the Irish Singles Chart. 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.
