If I am using a masculine word as a nickname for a woman, do I switch the possessive adjective to be feminine?

In English, I refer to my date as Cheesecake.

In French, cheesecake is gâteau au fromage (or cheesecake, both seem to be correct). However both of those are masculine nouns.

Does proper French syntax say to change it to ma gâteau au fromage or keep it at mon gâteau au fromage even though I am referring to a woman?
