file for insolvency FOR
You are correct. The preposition MIT would be translated as FOR (assuming the Konditoreien were insolvent).

I would translate "Konditorei" as a "pastry shop".

German term (edited):
mit den Konditoreien Insolvenz anmelden
declare insolvency for the confectionery shops/cake shops
'declare insolvency' is the normal collocation (see sketchengine.co.uk). 'Confectionary' firstly should be spelled 'confectionery', but in any case, on its own, is old-fashioned when referring to a shop. Either 'confectioner's shop', 'confectionery shop' or simply 'cake shop' would do.

I had to declare the confectionery business insolvent
First of all "file for bankruptcy" is a US expression and it includes both personal bankruptcy and company liquidation.
We don't know from this text whether this business was a sole proprietor (who would, IN UK parlance, declare himself bankrupt) or a company (which would appoint a liquidator).
In addition, there are other permutations, such as IVAs, CVAs, informal arrangements, etc. etc.
If you want a "catch all" phrase for European English I would use "insolvent/insolvency" which embraces all of these.
