Apparently an inside joke.
Wild stabs at guessing the meaning won't get you any closer to unravel it.

Jo Ashburn is Cap'n Tripps. The rest must be noncoms. Or not. Who knows? Who cares?

CD games, right? The technical term is "mastering" but most people call it "burning"...

Wendy "Cupcake" Kaplan was the Duplication Specialist and Kellie "Twinky" Walker was her assistant.

Duplication Specialists were the ones responsible for burning the games to CD/DVD, hence the title "burning goddesses".
Full story here.

You can see them here credited as "Cupcake the Burning Goddess" and "Twinkie the Burning Assistant".
