Angelina Jolie made a birthday cake for Maddox using Sandra Lee's Semi-Homemade concepts. A friend of Angie's told Sandra that she and Maddox like to watch her show on the Food Network and that her No
Bake Birthday Cake was a hit. Sandra told People magazine how thrilled she was that Angelina liked her recipes.
"I was really surprised when her friend let me know she made my No Bake birthday cake," says Lee, whose show hit Food Network show, Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee, provides viewers with no-fuss recipes prepared in minutes. "She's a Semi-Homemade mommy just like the rest of us!"
The cake, which Lee says is "a beautiful display that anyone can do in five minutes," starts with a store-bought white sheet cake, topped with a plain white round cake and then surrounded by cupcakes and pre-decorated cookies. "What's great is that you get to personalize that beautiful display," says Lee.
"She's a very busy, overextended mother," Lee, 43, tells PEOPLE. "I'm very proud not just that she made my cake but that someone of her stature isn't delegating these [tasks], like her children's birthday, to other people. I'm glad she loves the show and that the kids apparently also watch it too."
So what is this No Bake Birthday Cake? Mario Lopez took a turn in the kitchen with Sandra Lee to decorate his own cake. But he keeps putting the wrong cookies on the cake and Sandra gently takes the smiley cookie away from him, admonishing "This is not a Wal-Mart commercial!" It's pretty hilarious. Take a look:
