A cupcake was a type of Earth cake. It was also a term used as an insult.
In the alternate reality of 2255, James T. Kirk insulted a Starfleet cadet named Hendorff in an Iowa bar by calling him "Cupcake". Three years later, the same man, who had since become a security officer assigned to the USS Enterprise, referred to Kirk by the same insult while arresting Kirk and Montgomery Scott after they had unexpectedly boarded the ship via transwarp beaming. (Star Trek)
In 2381, Ensign Sam Rutherford was eating a burrito and a cupcake in the bar on the USS Cerritos during a long-haul warp. (LD: "Wej Duj")
