It can be. It depends on the circumstances, the context and how you say it. It could be affectionate (= a lovely nickname for your darling girl), or dismissive (= you naïve, stupid little girl). I guess, it's like using the word 'Sweetheart' lovingly or in a condescending manner.

I think it's mostly chauvinistic. I imagine an older man saying that to an attractive younger woman / girl.

@Mecko do Germans ever use names of food as a term of endearment for their partner? In English sometimes we will use words like “muffin” or “pudding”.
