♤ :  Cooking headcanon

I’m of the opinion that Hakuba is a constant learner, who picks up skills and perfects them to a reasonable level just for the sake of learning (and to keep himself very, very busy). As such, it’s my headcanon that when he was 12 or 13, he begged his mother to put him in all sorts of classes after school/during the summer, one of which was cooking.

He did learn, both in group classes and from a private tutor, including a summer camp in Paris, how to cook all sorts of things. His favorite (and the thing he’s best at) is to bake, though, and it’s a secret pleasure to create beautiful cupcakes from scratch, particularly if he gets to decorate them all fancy and elegant. 

In fact, he and Baaya will often bake together on those odd days where everything falls apart, and suddenly neither has anything to do, or the Superintendent General just isn’t home for dinner yet again… 

Hakuba and I (yes I am well aware that I sound insane when I talk like this) did a google search to come up with some examples of the kind of thing he enjoys doing:

…no, he does not advertise this fact, but always gets excellent grades in home ec. He also doesn’t get to cook all THAT often since both the home in Ekoda and in London employ a private chef, both of whom are protective of their kitchens.
