Hola Álvaro, Lamentablemente no tengo más referencia del pirotín. (No está en DRAE). En cuanto a su ortografía, tampoco podría decirte si lleva tilde o no. Lo he visto de las dos formas. En este caso no se usa como molde, como sería el baking cup, ya que no va al horno, sino como envase. Sirve para darle un toque de elegancia, o mejor dicho, un valor agregado al bombón. Y de paso no ensuciarse los dedos. Les agradezco a todos las respuestas.

Ok Cecilia. Vosotras sois de allá y lo sabréis mejor. Yo me guié por la imagen de Mar, otras que encontré en la red y por el prefijo piro-. Sería interesante conocer el origen de la palabra. Por la ortografía supongo que se acentúa la segunda sílaba.

En Argentina, los pirotines son de papel y se utilizan para bombones, masas finas, muffins, bocaditos. Vienen en diversos tamaños según el uso. http://www.descartables-papelera-insumos-para-empresas.envas...

Hola Mar. Yo creo que pueden casi todas las sugerencias, aunque tengo la impresión que "piro" viene de "calor" y que particularmente son las que están hechas con papel aluminio. Otra observación, ¿por qué se habla de bombones y sólo contestan mujeres? ;O)
mar52 (asker) Oct 18, 2007:
Sería una mini cake case? Hay un nombre específico para el cake case de bombones¿
mar52 (asker) Oct 18, 2007:
El pirotín aparece en la ilustración de este sitio. Parece mucho más chica que las que se utilizan para las masas finas.

agree Carol Gullidge : "Sweet cases", given the new context, or "truffle cases" as in my amended answer, but not "cake cases" (of any sort!)

sweet wrapper

if these "bonbons" are ordinary sweets as opposed to chocolates. Sweet wrappers are for individual sweets, which are then further packaged in bags, boxes, tins, etc... or even sold loose in sweetshops
