pinguino, no one else will understand this,except Mexico city residents, the only reason,I know this is that my first wife, happened to mention it one day, when we were at the 7-11.I sumitted this to an electronic translator and it spew back, tortá de la taza;of course it is a terrible translation. I would say pequeños pastelitos(little cakes) but it is wrong also.

In Mexico we understand "Pingüino" (which is the right way to write it) because of a brand named "Bimbo" sale a cake on this name, and its a chocolate cake very small, and think, in my opinion, the correct translation is "pastelito", which fits the purpose in naming a cake and someone you love.

"cupcake" can also be used as a term of endearment when applied to small children or young women; similar to "sweetie pie".
