A piece of cake for Barbara to eat? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kebabs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a piece of cake for' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'barbara to eat?' is the wordplay.
'barbara' becomes 'Babs' (short for Barbara).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'eat?' becomes 'ke' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'babs' put after 'ke' is 'KEBABS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kebabs that I've seen before include "Marinated meat cooked on skewers" , "Meat on skewers; ska ebb (anag.)" , "Turkish dishes of meat and veg on skewers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
