cupcaking
Public couple affection
Cupcaking is flirting or engaging in overly affectionate behavior, especially in public.
The term suggests sweetness to the point of being saccharine—couples who cuddle, whisper, and act lovey-dovey are cupcaking: They spent the whole party cupcaking in the corner.
It can also mean pursuing romantic attention from someone: He's been cupcaking her for weeks.
