Cake courses in wrong order? (9)
I believe the answer is:
sweetmeat
'cake' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sweetmeat that I've seen before include "Perhaps rock" , "Confectionery - we eat stem (anag)" , "Sugary delicacy" , "dessert" , "It may be sucked" .)
