使用する際の注意点

• Confectionery is divided into two subtypes: flour confectionery, which includes pastries, cakes, and sweet baked goods (but not ordinary bread), and sugar confectionery, which includes hard candies, chocolates, and sometimes ice cream. In British English, confectionery without any further descriptor primarily refers to sugar confectionery. In American English, it usually refers to flour confectionery.
