In the sentence "Caleb is baking pies for the bake sale," the phrase "is baking pies for the bake sale" functions as a complete predicate. A complete predicate includes the main verb and all its modifiers and complements. In this case, "is baking" is the main verb, and "pies for the bake sale" provides additional information about what Caleb is baking.

Can a noun be part of a simple predicate?

A noun can not be part of a simple predicate, because a simple predicate only includes the verb phrase. The complete predicate, however, may contain nouns, because it includes the verb phrase and any of its objects (Direct and Indirect - which can be nouns and pronouns) and modifiers (which may include adverbial and adjective phrases -- prepositional phrases which have noun or pronoun objects).

(the predicate is a verb only)He will come soon. (soon is an adverb modifying the verb 'will come')Mom made some chocolate chip cookies.We had some lunch and then went to the movie. (this sentence has two predicates)
