OF
in the sense that
OF indicates that the proposition is the result of the action or thing found in the predicate.
In other words –
The sweetness that has been produced IS BECAUSE you produced it
You are the one who did the sweet thing = that is very sweet of you
Equally –
The niceness comes from you. You are the one who produced the quality of niceness.
