Luckily for her family, the expert baker was clearly impressed!

He wasn't the only one, and Blake's followers rushed to share their compliments on her culinary skill. They included Hollywood legend Sharon Stone, who commented: "OMG YOU DID THIS [clapping emojis] super woman super mom [heart emojis]."
