Meals are filling and boost a lot of energy, but provide no mood.
Drinks improve mood a lot, but few give any energy.
I propose that pastries boost both mood and energy, but not as much mood and energy as an individual meal or drink would. Pastries and treats could be the perfect balance between the two!
I'll take your idea even further, Vermilion. How about a sugar rush buff from sweets that increases mood and energy by a large amount for a given duration and then drops precipitously? Sort of like a safer high than no no without the trip to hell.
I like Vermillion's addenda here. It baffled me that it was so hard to find consumables to increase mood. Pastries that give a big mood bonus but small energy bonus would fit the bill.
+1 on this. It's a bummer not to be able to make sweets since that's something I love to do irl. And as a dedicated chocoholic bring chocolate in as a resource/food!
+1 as usual to this idea. Some of the most popular items at parties are the strawberry crepes, the flummery, and the berry bowls because they are the most dessert-y.
