Maybe have the table on the other side, so that our quartermaster can share that right side with you?

We also have that new common in the event shop that has a platter if you wanted that at all. And the new EI has baskets of fish.

Or since you have a table of pastries in the background, you could go for a funny approach and give him a mixing bowl and spoon. But if not wanting it to be a pastry chef, there are other tables that we could always use. There are casks and boxes too.
