Cake is a special form of bread that is often made into a sweet baked desert, although it can also be made into savoury bread-type products. Cake is the favourite food for many people around the world, who love the combination of different textures, toppings, and tastes. Baking cakes is a cooking speciality around much of the world, with pastry chefs and cake makers specialising in cooking and decorating cakes for their customers. However, lots of people also enjoy baking cakes in their domestic kitchens, with the help of common cake accessories (Tortenzubehör) and ovens. Some of the most popular accessories that are used when baking and preparing cakes include blenders, rollers, funnels, baking trays, piping bags, and other kinds of decorating accessories.

Cakes are made in a number of different styles, and can be roughly divided into a number of categories, based on the ingredients and the cooking techniques that are used. Yeast cakes are the oldest form of cake, and have a form that is very similar to common yeast breads. Cheesecakes are another form of cake, although contrary to popular belief, they are not really cakes at all. Cheesecakes are in fact a form of custard pie, and are not cakes as they use little to no flour. Perhaps the most common style of cake is the humble sponge cake, which is thought to be the oldest of the non-yeast cakes. Other categories of cakes include butter cakes and a variety of cakes that are defined according to their accompaniment and contents.

In terms of specialised cake accessories, most accessory products are used during the decorating process. In terms of making cakes, very few products are actually used during the baking process. While blenders are often used during the mixing process and baking trays are needed for the baking process, most of the accessories in baking shops are based around the art of sugar craft and cake decorating. A number of specialised tools are used for complex cake decorating, with some common examples being piping bags, syringes, bags, and a number of decorating tips. No matter what you are looking for however, baking accessories can be found easily on the Internet through specialised baking retailers and large cookware shops.
