Pupcake

This is what my son thought a small cake was called. A small dog, a small cake!

Re: Pupcake

That’s a really cute one. Was your son a little tyke when he came up with that? It would be hard to make a case for eggcornicity unless we find reason to believe it’s used also by adults—or at least people old enough to have substantially mastered the language.
