1 -- A dating relationship that is seen by one as merely a treat, luxury, indulgence or break in one's routine, rather than a stable, steady, routine occurrence. A peoplecake relationship usually involves the parties seeing each other only occasionally or only once or twice a week, with no commitment to exclusivity or building a shared tomorrow. So called because such a relationship is to one's life what cake is to eating: something that's enjoyable but can easily be done without.
2 -- a partner in such a relationship

"Nah, I don't see myself living with Jennifer. What we have is just peoplecake."
"Marilyn, get a grip. Don't go making fantasies about gowns and bridesmaids and china patterns. You have no future with Carlos. To him, you're nothing but peoplecake."

same as peoplecake, so called from HUman and MINK, because such a relationship is to one's life what a mink coat is to clothes, something very nice, yet something that one could do without very well.

A vivid analogy/comparison I coined, describing being duped or hoodwinked; a tantalizing offer or prospect that turns out to be phony or empty.
It is comparing being duped to the imaginary but descriptive scenario of invited to someone's house for lunch and seeing an assortment of delicious looking food on the table, but then, upon being served, discover that it's only very realistic-looking playfood. It looks delicious, but it's a toy, a prop, only fake, nothing you can really eat. Similarly, if someone makes you a tempting offer that turns out to be phony, it too looks great, but it's nothing you can really act on, it's only fake.

"Bob offered to go into business for me, but today, he told me he decided he didn't want to do it. Boy, did THAT turn out to be nothing but playfood for lunch!"
"Suzanne, I want you to stop talking about marrying Carlos. Carlos doesn't want to marry you, OK? He views your relationship as a break in his routine and nothing else. When he talks about you two having a life together, he's just serving you playfood for lunch!"
"All the companies that offer instant weight-loss products are serving the public playfood for lunch."

My sister said she'd rather have an engagement ring than a flat belly any day. She's such a Jennifer Moonglow.
