cupcake, 컵케이크
Cupcakes are small, cute-sized cakes. They are often decorated with pretty cream frosting and colorful sprinkles on top.
They are a common dessert for parties and birthdays. Their single-serving size makes them easy to hold and eat, and they can be made in various flavors and shapes.

First appearing in the United States in the 1800s, cupcakes were also called "1234 cakes" because of their easy-to-measure recipe. This name came from using 1 cup of butter, 2 cups of sugar, 3 cups of flour, and 4 eggs.
Recently, they've become a frequent subject of photos on social media, and they often appear as props in romantic scenes in K-dramas. They are a popular choice for home baking and a signature menu item in dessert cafes.
