Help! Need your imagination and knowledge :)
So, I`ve had quite interesting task on my translation classes. I have to translate some toys` name and their description in my mother tongue. It wasn`t that hard. However, with some names I still have difficulties. So, I need your help.
Here're those names - Dolce and Ciambella. What comes to your mind? Do they have meaning? Or are they just names and tha's it?
I'll be very grateful for your help)

From my perspective
Dolce and Ciambella
aren't those donuts ?
When I think of Dolce I either think of caramel sauce (the Italian word for 'sweet') or Dolce & Gabbana, the fashion brand.
I have never seen Ciambella, in american culture of any kind (i live in the pacific northwest) but after a quick google search, it seems they are cakes.
If you are ever having a problem you can always just google, or wikipedia things to try to help answer as well.

I could not understand if the problem was to translate the names because they mean nothing at all, or because you did not know what the toys look like :) but from what I got to know in a really quick search, both toys are kind of "pillow-made" puppies or other things (such as donuts and burgers), which should not be that difficult to translate to. But I believe the words are just "brands" and it's impossible to guess what kind of toy it is just by the name :)
cheers!
