español term

barretes

español al inglés Mercadeo Alimentos y bebidas range of manufactured cakes
In a list of products from a cake manufacturer:

Magdalenas, bizcochos, croissant, **barretes** y galletas

Any ideas? I'm thinking it could refer to bar-shaped cakes - but not at all sure.

I can desribe them, but am at a loss to think of a good English term. They are small narrow rolls of pastry open at both ends with different fillings, cream, custard, chocolate etc. You can have look.. www.lescosesbones.com/novaweb/cat/singlutencat.htm

sweet pastry rolls

"Cake" and "bar" don't give the idea that they're rolled. Pastry rolls are usually savory, but sweet pastry rolls are a little different -- they are smaller and less puffy.
Peer comment(s):

agree Rachel Fell : Hello Muriel: agree about the roll point - the things on David's site look like a particular sort of biscuit in the UK called "fig rolls" - don't know if Asker's things are like this

Thanks, Rachel. It was just a stab in the dark.
