There is no specific reason as to why Google names its Android versions after desserts. Google itself does not divulge any details into it. It started as the inside joke of the brand. But while releasing Android 4.4 Kitkat, they came up with this explanation -
Android OS powers over 1 million smartphones and tablets. Since these devices make our lives so sweet - each android version is named after a dessert.
The first ever such named version was Cupcake. There are named in a alphabetical order just to take note of the chronological order of the successive updates.
