baked good
Fresh from oven
A baked good is any food prepared by baking—bread, pastries, cookies, cakes, muffins, pies.
The term appears most often in contexts where someone needs to refer to these items collectively: The bakery sells coffee and baked goods.
In the singular, it sounds slightly formal or commercial: Each baked good is made fresh daily.
