confectionery
Sugary treats collectively
Confectionery is candy and sweets collectively, or the art of making them.
A confectionery is also a shop where such items are sold: The old confectionery on Main Street still makes fudge by hand.
The word covers chocolates, hard candies, pastries, and similar sugary creations.
