It knew you were looking. You can't let it know that you know. Like all
confections, it can smell fear.

"...promiscuously bunch up and solidify..."... hmmm. I would think that
its penchant for warm runniness was more indicative of promiscuity than
cohesive bonding would be, but maybe that's just me.

It is doubtless a curse, as altitude will not impact cookies, fudge,
ferments, etc. Cakes, yes. Breads, yes. The rest, no.
