Tarta o pastel

Can you explain why the cake is called 'tarta' in the second and third sentences, but 'pastel' in the fourth?

Hola J. C.

Thank you for your question! We used both "tarta" and "pastel" intentionally to show some variety in the language. Both words can refer to 'cake' in Spanish, though "tarta" is often used more for larger, layered cakes or pies, while "pastel" can refer to smaller or single-serving cakes. In this context, we aimed to illustrate the different ways the term can be used, depending on the situation.

Feliz semana
