Cetacea
: I agree, but not with Saskia. "Small baked goods" also includes cookies, muffins, and the like, so it is indeed the "Oberbegriff" Heike is looking for. Cf. e.g. http://www.cookiebasketexpress.com/store/mcart.php?ID=17

Depending on the type of Kleingebäck, it may be enough to say "Assorted biscuits" though.

I don't get your point. Kleingebäck isn't bread either, it is a kind of baked good as pointed out by Susan (below).

Cetacea
: Too specific, I would say. "Kleingebäck" can be anything small and baked.
