Crossword Genius

At work, Ray, Lee and daughter like some cakes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

layered

'like some cakes' is the definition.

'at work ray lee and daughter' is the wordplay.
'at work' is an anagram indicator.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'daughter' becomes 'd' ().
'ray'+'lee'='raylee'
'raylee' anagrammed gives 'layere'.
'layere'+'d'='LAYERED'

(Other definitions for layered that I've seen before include "Made of several sheets" , "Type of cake perhaps" , "in tiers" , "Stratified" , "Like a particular hairstyle" .)
