Crossword Genius

Announced confectionery for sets (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suites

'sets' is the definition.
(suite is a kind of set)

'announced confectionery' is the wordplay.
'announced' shows a homophone (sound like).
'confectionery' becomes 'sweets' (I've seen this before).
'sweets' sounds like 'SUITES'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for suites that I've seen before include "Sets of rooms or furniture - sound tasty" , "Tissue for sets of furniture" , "Matching sets of furniture" , "Tissue (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
