Culinary queen! Blake Lively has always had a passion for food — and her baking creations would put many professional chefs to shame.
“To be around me, you must love food or I’m the most obnoxious person you’ve ever met,” the Gossip Girl alum told Marie Claire in its July 2012 issue. “I’m in a big cooking phase. That’s all I’ll talk about. If you went to my house and didn’t know who it belonged to, you would not think it belonged to an actress.”
Ryan Reynolds, who married the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants actress in September 2012, confirmed Lively’s talents in the kitchen in May 2018.
“Blake loves [to bake],” the Proposal star told Entertainment Weekly at the time. “As a little girl, she and her mom, they grew up in a very modest household, and their aspiration was Martha Stewart’s magazines.”
Reynolds — who shares four children, daughters James, Inez and Betty and a little one they welcomed in early 2023, with Lively — added: “She loves that world and she’s really good at it. She’s much better at multitasking than I am.”
The Betty Buzz founder, for her part, has made it clear that the kitchen is her happy place via social media over the years.
“1) Who is the lost soul that selects birthday PIE. 2) What ANIMAL eats their cake (pie) without first blowing out the candles. @vancityreynolds that’s who,” Lively wrote via Instagram in October 2020 while showing off the pie she made for her husband’s special day. “Happy Birthday. I honestly can’t believe we’re still married.”
The following year, the Age of Adaline star joked about her obsession with the as seen on TV products while highlighting a watermelon cake she made for a friend.
“The benefits of being a hoarder #492: you’re at the ready with your Betty Crocker Bake & Fill — that you haven’t used since you were 17 — the moment someone requests a watermelon cake,” she captioned the June 2021 Instagram photos. “Shout out to all my fellow as seen on TV nuts. Pullin’ out the Euroseal next.”
In March 2023, Lively once again showed her kitchen creativity off when she sent the Deadpool 3 team a special loaf of bread with the main character’s face on it.
“My favorite thing about @VancityReynolds is his wife @blakelively — who in addition to being the coolest woman ever, is a kickass baker,” Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy wrote via Twitter, while singing the actress’ praises. “Today’s midday surprise in the #deadpool3 writers room.”
Reynolds, who plays the superhero, joked: “Felt pretty guilty biting into Breadpool today.”
