Snack Cakes. Snack cakes are essentially single serving cakes that do not require utensils. Examples include cupcakes and brownies. Many snack cake products feature relatively unique brand formulations.

Doughnuts. Doughnuts are deep-fried or baked, bready rings with a hole in the middle. They are usually yeast-raised, but are sometimes leavened with baking powder. Plain doughnuts have a slightly sweet flavor. Other varieties of donuts include glazed or frosted; dredged with granulated, confectioners’, or cinnamon sugar; or topped with candy sprinkles or chopped nuts.
Pies. Pies are basically confections baked in a single or double crust. Fruit pies include apple, blueberry, cherry, peach, apricot, kiwi, and others. Cream pies may be chocolate, coconut, or Boston cream. Meringue pies feature a layer of meringue over lemon, lime, coconut, or other fillings.
