Sofia Vergara is flaunting her voluptuous body on the cover of Shape magazine's March issue, and we couldn't be happier about it!

sofia230.jpgThe Modern Family actress says growing up, she was nicknamed "toothpick." Vegara tells the mag:

    "I was ridiculously skinny. They called me palillo, which means toothpick in Spanish ... but suddenly I had these big boobs. It was terrible! I used to tell my mother: 'I'm going to cut these off as soon as I turn 18.'"


The sexy 38-year-old Latina surprisingly admits to eating a little piece of cake everyday. She says:

    "Vanilla cake, angel food cake, chocolate cake. For me and my son, buying cake at the grocery store is like buying milk. We always have it in the house."


Ms. Vergara, who has a 19-year-old son, adds:

    "To be called the sexiest woman in Hollywood, at my age? It's fantastic. Latin women are very comfortable with their bodies and their sexuality. We aren't afraid to show that off a little bit more."
