The frosted layer cake is an American invention, and chocolate layer cakes covered with chocolate frosting can be found in every city. Louisiana prides itself on King Cake, which was once a rich yeast-bread cake available only between Epiphany and Mardi Gras, and is now even richer, filled with fruit or cream, and available in dozens of flavors and variations year round. The <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Boston" title="Boston" id="mwcA">Boston</a> cream pie – which, despite the name is really a layer cake filled with pastry cream and topped with chocolate glaze rather than a pie – was born in Massachusetts and is available across the country.

The chocolate chip cookie is a national favorite, and bakeries typically offer frosted sugar cookies year-round and cinnamon-y gingerbread cookies during the winter holidays. Doughnuts come in two main types – the raised doughnut and the cake doughnut. On average, you will find better quality doughnuts at a doughnut shop than at a grocery store, although the doughnut shop will close earlier in the day. A variant of the doughnut called a <i id="mwdg"><b id="mwdw">beignet</b></i> is a speciality of <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/New_Orleans" title="New Orleans" id="mweA">New Orleans</a>. Unlike regular doughnuts, it is not round with a hole in the middle, but instead is rectangle and dusted with icing sugar.

At many of the better establishments in the Northeast, especially in and close to <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Vermont" title="Vermont" id="mwfQ">Vermont</a>, real maple syrup is available to pour on your pancakes or waffles. In other parts of the country and in less expensive restaurants, you are likely to be offered brown-colored pancake syrup made from high-fructose corn syrup and artificial maple flavoring. In the South, you may encounter clear, almost flavorless Karo corn syrup, slightly tangy sorghum syrup, or molasses. In <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Hawaii" title="Hawaii" id="mwfg">Hawaii</a>, you can use coconut or pineapple syrup. </p> <p id="mwfw">Regional favorites also exist in candy. Tourist-oriented locations offer salt-water taffy at seaside locations and regional favorites, such as maple candy in New England and caramels in the South. Georgia, Louisiana and Texas make sugary pecan pralines; elsewhere in the South, peanut brittle takes the lead. Western New York makes chocolate-enrobed sponge candies. Tennessee adores the round Goo-Goo Cluster candy bar. In the Pacific Northwest, especially during the holiday season, you may be able to find Aplets and Cotlets, which is similar to Turkish Delight with pieces of dried apple or apricot added. In Hawaii, look for chocolate-covered macadamia nuts and chewy Red Coconut Balls.</p> <p id="mwgA">Ice cream is popular and dominated by regional and national chains. Normal servings tend to be huge, so don't be shy about asking for a "junior" or "kid's" serving.</p> <p id="mwgQ">Generally speaking, you'll find the best results at local, non-chain bakeries and the restaurants supplied by them.

Germany probably has more varieties of bread than almost every other country – so many varieties that you could eat a different type of bread every day for a year. Breads made from whole grain and/or sourdough are particularly plentiful and usually of good quality. In fact, bread is one of the things Germans miss the most when abroad for longer periods of time. Fresh pretzels are available in nearly every bakery, in the traditional twisted shape as well as smaller knots and rings. If you want something more substantial as a snack, look for pretzels that have been split and filled with butter or cream cheese.</p> <p id="mwAVA">Another particular German treat with mind-boggling variety are <i id="mwAVE">Brötchen</i>, bread rolls. They are frequently eaten at lengthy German breakfasts but also a staple of <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Street_food" title="Street food" id="mwAVI">street food</a> such as <i id="mwAVM">Bratwurst-Brötchen</i> or <i id="mwAVQ">belegte Brötchen</i>. When the word <i id="mwAVU">belegte</i> or <i id="mwAVY">belegtes</i> is used to describe words like <i id="mwAVc">Brot</i> and <i id="mwAVg">Brötchen</i>, it means <i id="mwAVk">sandwich</i>. Sandwiches are generally excellent in Germany because the bread and the ingredients used for the filling are of high quality, and many bakeries sell ready-made sandwiches in the middle of the day. The term <i id="mwAVo">sandwich</i> has also entered the German lexicon and is often understood as being subtly distinct from <i id="mwAVs">belegtes Brot</i>. The term <i id="mwAVw">belegtes Brot</i> is rarely used in some regions where the local dialect prevails. In Berlin, people will say <i id="mwAV0">Stulle</i>, and in Saxony the term <i id="mwAV4">Bemme</i> or <i id="mwAV8">Fettbemme</i> (originally with lard, now often with butter) is used.</p> <p id="mwAWA">German pastries are quite good, and in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Bavaria" title="Bavaria" id="mwAWE">Bavaria</a>, are quite rich and varied, similar to those of their southern neighbor, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Austria" title="Austria" id="mwAWI">Austria</a>. Fruit pastries are common, with apples cooked into pastries year round, and cherries and plums making their appearances during the summer. Many German baked goods also feature almonds, hazelnuts, and other tree nuts. Popular cakes often pair particularly well with a cup of strong coffee. If you want some small though rich pastries, try what depending on region are called <i id="mwAWM">Berliner</i>, <i id="mwAWQ">Pfannkuchen</i> or <i id="mwAWU">Krapfen</i>. These are something like holeless doughnuts, made with soft dough. Many fillings are possible, and some of them include liqueurs such as Eierlikör, a very potent egg liqueur. In southern Germany, particularly <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Franconia" title="Franconia" id="mwAWY">Franconia</a>, <i id="mwAWc">Hiffenmark</i>, rosehip jam is the traditional filling of <i id="mwAWg">Krapfen</i>. They're particularly common around Carnival and an old tradition is to fill some of them with mustard as a "joke". </p> <p id="mwAWk">When it comes to other baked goods, Germany has the <i id="mwAWo">Amerikaner</i> (named for the ammonium bicarbonate leavening and not the USA) — a round, just over hand-size, saucer-shaped piece of dough that is covered with chocolate and sugar frosting. Then there is the <i id="mwAWs"><a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Bamberg" title="Bamberg" id="mwAWw">Bamberger</a> Hörnchen</i>, which is similar in appearance and taste to French croissants but contains more butter. In southern Germany, you will see hard, often heart-shaped <i id="mwAW0">Lebkuchen</i> cookies, packed with powdered ginger and cloves, decorated with hard royal icing, and usually packaged on a string, so they can be worn as a necklace. These cookies keep for months and pack well, so they are popular gifts to bring home, but they might be more popular back home for their appearance and sentimental associations than for their strong, spicy flavors.
