/Sounds like "pahs" (as in "park") + "TEHL" (as in "ten")/
A sweet cake made for celebrations, birthdays, and parties. In Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela, "pastel" is the standard word for what English speakers call cake. No birthday is complete without one, and the tradition of pushing the birthday person's face into it is practically a law.
“What flavor do you want your birthday cake, chocolate or strawberry?”
“The tres leches cake your mom made was absolutely incredible.”
