One of my colleagues told me that one of his family members has a problem with health. Last few days he was very very sad, so I wanted to ask him if everything is ok or not? In my country where I originally came from it's ok to discuss any questions between colleagues (even so personal), but I'm not sure is it ok or not to ask such personal questions in North America. I want to support him, but I don't want to be not polite.

          Confectionery

          Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections.
