Sugar in baking is rarely meant to dissolve. Candy-making, on the other hand -- sugar and heat! Glorious fun.
Mama baked a lot when I was a kid, and the phrase "It's only a home cake" was uttered superstitiously when turning out cakes, despite the precaution of dusting the greased pan with cocoa powder.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
