Like a small iced cake (5)
I believe the answer is:
fancy
'like' is the definition.
(both can mean to find someone attractive)
'a small iced cake' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fancy that I've seen before include "Have a crush on" , "Imagine; expensive" , "Imagine; desire" , "Elaborate; whim" , "Ornamented" .)
