A bun in the oven (pregnant)
She walked through like she was sniffing pies in heaven (for someone who
looks proud or stuck-up)
You really toasted my buns that time
That was cheesy
Clamming up
Have your cake and eat it, too
Don't cry over spilled milk
milksop
candy-a**
cotton-candy clouds
candy-apple red
slower than molasses in January
Syrupy (voice, manner)
Sweet as sugar
Sweet as pie
Better than chocolate
Do the mashed potato
My goose is cooked
Mutton dressed up as lamb
What's your beef?
Saccharine-sweet (falsely polite person)
She's a tart (not sure how food-related this really is)
He's a beef-cake
Honey-bun, sugar-pie
Shriveled like a raisin
He's an old prune
I sunburned until I was lobster-red
He's a shrimp
I'm in a stew
Thick as pea-soup
Look at the little peanut! (for a small child)
Honey (as a term of endearment)
