Mainly, sugar adds taste and sweetness to a dessert. It can also act as a minor binding agent when melted and in a more liquid-like state. Sugar also forms a crystalized substance once cooled, and this can be used as a nice chine or glaze atop a dessert or to add solid structure to the dessert to make it more firm after baking.
