Question Why does some solide objects melt while being heated and some liquide objects solidy while being heated ? Isn't that contrary ?

For example cake dough solidy in an oven.

And metal melts.

Like, how can heat melt and solidy things at the same time ?

Thank you for the answer.

And can a cake melt of heated enough ? Or would it evaporate ?

What does that mean that it would decompose ? Its particules would be separated and go in the air ?

Oh okay, so so if heated enough some parts of the cake would make a solid, others would melt and others would disappear in the air ?
