<p>Cupcake in Chinese should be <a href="https://www.google.ca/search?q=%E6%9D%AF%E5%BD%A2%E8%9B%8B%E7%B3%95&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwj-hLjjzbTTAhVh2oMKHdLpAxkQsAQIJA&amp;biw=1416&amp;bih=674" rel="nofollow noreferrer">杯形蛋糕</a> Bēi xíng dàngāo</p>

<p>I'm Chinese. We just call it cake(蛋糕). Sometimes if others don't know what kind of cake is refering to, we'll add 'cake in a cup'“纸杯装的蛋糕”. Just like that.</p>

<p>What is the pinyin and simplified Chinese characters used for the word cupcake? </p>

<p>When looking it up there is no reliable answer. Some people seem to just call it by the chinese words for "cake" but others use the chinese words for "small cake," "cup cake," or "cake in a cup."</p>

<p>So I just wanted to ask for the word that actual Chinese people use most/recognize.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
