- small fork; pastry fork
- Antonym: (may also be a hypernym) Essgabel

- Wikipedia defines the pastry fork as having a larger, bevelled tine on the side. While this design is common, the German word is in no way restricted to such a fork. A Kuchengabel is simply a fairly small and short fork, usually with three tines.
