Like some cakes I'd put around church (4)
I believe the answer is:
iced
'like some cakes' is the definition.
(cakes may be decorated with icing)
'i'd put around church' is the wordplay.
'put around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'church' becomes 'CE' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'id' going around 'ce' is 'ICED'.
(Other definitions for iced that I've seen before include "Took out" , "Dressed in a sweet coat" , "Made very cold" , "Covered with flavoured sugar topping" , "Frozen - with a sugary topping" .)
