Cupcakes have become increasingly popular in Brazil over the past two decades, particularly in urban centers. While the English term 'cupcakes' is widely understood and used in modern bakeries and among younger consumers, some traditional Portuguese speakers may still prefer 'bolo de copo' or describe them as 'bolinhos decorados'. The cupcake trend represents the influence of American popular culture and social media on Brazilian food trends.
