Jolie bakes cake with help from TV show

Angelina Jolie apparently followed directions on a cult cookery show to make a birthday cake for her son Maddox.

The Mr And Mrs Smith actress, whose eldest child turned eight in August, reportedly used a recipe from the Food Network to bake a cake herself.

Sandra Lee, host of Semi-Homemade Cooking With Sandra Lee, announced on her TV show: "I was really surprised when her friend let me know she made my No Bake birthday cake. She's a Semi-Homemade mommy just like the rest of us!"

She continued: "The cake is made from a putting pre-bought sponge cakes together and adding cupcakes and cookies."

Lee added: "I'm very proud not just that she made my cake but that someone of her stature isn't delegating these tasks to other people."
