I always enjoy reading the questions and answers on this forum.

The opinions shared by the respondents are very helpful to me.
Getting to the main point, would it be better not to give the papa who has been so supportive of me some sweets, considering the current circumstances?
I make sweets as a personal hobby. I’m not planning to pursue it as a career, so my skill level isn’t particularly high, but my parents run a baked-goods shop, and I’ve sometimes helped them make sweets, so I’m probably a little better than the average person.
It seems that he likes bitter chocolate, so I’m thinking of giving him some scones made with dark chocolate chips the next time we meet.
As I mentioned, with COVID and everything, would you be concerned if someone gave you food they had made at home?
I’d love to hear how both men and women would feel if they received something like this themselves.
Also, if you don’t mind, I’d appreciate it if you could tell me what kinds of sweets you like, just for reference.

Many married papas (male supporters) can’t bring gifts home, so it’s best to ask in advance, “I’d like to bake you some treats sometime—would that be okay?” If he agrees, make only a small amount that he can finish by himself.
Even if it isn’t to his taste, he’ll probably force himself to eat it if it’s only a little, haha.
But you sound like you’re good at baking, so I’m sure a papa who likes you will be happy. I can’t do anything like that myself, so I’m jealous.

I think it should be fine if you’re close, rather than it being your first time meeting or only your second or third time (*ˊ˘ˋ*)｡♪:*
Speaking personally, I had some delicious cake at work that was made by a friend of a friend ŧ‹”ŧ‹”( ‘ч’ )ŧ‹”ŧ‹”
How about an iced cookie with his name written on it? (*ﾉ>ᴗ<)ﾃﾍｯ
Something he can finish right there, and that won’t make his family suspicious, would probably be best♪

Universe Club Customer Success representative Karasaki here.
I think it would be nice if she simply made something and brought it along. However, everyone has different tastes, so it’s probably best to ask her honestly first.
If you want it to be a surprise, how about waiting until the second meeting or later? These days, food poisoning is more of a concern than COVID, so as long as you’re careful about that, I’m sure your feelings will come across.

I’m always really happy when someone brings me homemade sweets or a packed lunch.
Since I live alone, I can take anything home, so I’m always glad to accept it. I have no food dislikes whatsoever, and I don’t worry about COVID at all—it’s just a common cold to me. I’ve been infected twice and didn’t even get a fever. Naturally, I’m unvaccinated.
*Young women really shouldn’t get vaccinated. The drawbacks shouldn’t be underestimated, and only high-risk groups should be getting those things, honestly.
Some girls even show up at my place and cook for me. It makes me nothing but happy. The ace girls and lounge hostesses in particular are great cooks, so I really look forward to it.
It’s not just the taste—the thought and kindness behind the gesture are what make me happy too.

I don’t really like receiving homemade food.
That said, it depends on my relationship with the person. If we’ve met dozens of times, as Taro-san mentioned, there’s a certain level of trust, so I might accept it.
I do think it’s better to ask first, as Tsubaki-san suggested. But even if someone asked, “Would you be happy if I made something for you?” I don’t think I could bring myself to say, “I don’t like food made by other people.”
Even when I secretly don’t want it, I’ll say thank you and accept it—but then dispose of it without eating it, making sure they don’t find out.
Like Taro-san, I always check the nutrition facts when buying food, and I’m especially conscious of the calories in scones.
So if it’s a chocolate baked treat, I’d appreciate just a few very small chocolate chip cookies made with high-cacao chocolate.

People react differently, so as Tsubaki suggested, I think it’s safest to ask first.
I’ve received something like that before, and I was really happy, but since I couldn’t take it home, I ate it there. This was during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In my case, I like sweets, so I’d be happy with anything homemade. That said, something easy to eat on the spot, and in a manageable portion, would be especially appreciated.

The question of whether someone can eat homemade food comes up in all kinds of situations—not just with a papa!
(Some people, for example, can’t eat onigiri made by their friends.)
Honestly, people’s feelings about hygiene and personal preferences vary so much that, unless it’s meant to be a birthday surprise or something, I think it’s best to ask them directly.
Something like:
“I enjoy baking, and I’d love to make something for you sometime…♡ But with COVID and everything, I thought you might be particular about that, so I wanted to check with you first! Would you be happy to receive something homemade from me?”
I think asking in that kind of way should be fine.

I’ve received homemade sweets before.
I don’t really worry about things like COVID. After all, we’re having even closer contact than that. If you’ve met a few times, there should be a reasonable level of trust, so I don’t see a problem.
By the way, I don’t usually eat sweets. I don’t check the price when buying food, but I always check the ingredients list.
I’m careful about what I put into my body, so smaller portions would be appreciated.

A single person with a sweet tooth like me would probably be happy to receive it.
If he’s married and likes sweets, a small portion that you can enjoy together on the spot wouldn’t be a bad idea. Just don’t give him too much.
If he prefers savory foods, or you’ve only recently started seeing each other, it’s probably best to skip it.
