Latent heat release. When molecules go from the liquid phase to the less energetic solid phase, that energy is released from the molecules to the environment. That energy of the phase change is called latent heat. The flask becomes quite warm when the crystallization(freezing) begins. 1, record 1, English, - latent%20heat%20release

The heat of the syrup causes the air cells in the icing to expand and the water it contains to vaporise thus thoroughly aerating the mixture which then sets on account of the crystallization of the hot syrup and the coagulation of the albumen in the royal icing. When cold, the material is used for cake decoration. 1, record 3, English, - rock%20sugar
