"Cupcake" was the code-name for a development milestone, as well as the name
for the source code branch corresponding to that milestone.  Our naming
convention is currently tasty, delicious desserts, similar to how Ubuntu
uses Hardy Heron, Gutsy Gibbon, and the like as their code names.
We didn't think people would find this as amusing as they have, and it got
picked up by the press more widely than we expected.  Regardless, "Cupcake"
is now a defunct name, since that milestone is past.  Android 1.5 is the
actual name+version for the current Android platform release.

You may also see references to "donut", which is simply the next (current)
milestone.
