   Very British slang. Plonked would suggest "heavily or carelessly" (Oxford   
   Dictionary) and cakey is slang for over-sweet in demeanor. So in more   
   conventional English we might say "she sloppily kissed her forehead". But I   
   think the slang version gives more flavour of British working class.
