Blake Lively baking up cupcakes for charity!

Hot stuff: Blake raises the glamour stakes in the kitchen

She's gorgeous, talented and whiz in the kitchen to boot.  
Gossip Girl star Blake Lively proudly showed off a tray of her S’mores cupcakes  at the Sprinkles bakery in New York City this week.
The 24-year-old Green Lantern star looked adorable in a gold lame skirt, sheet white blouse with a coordinated gold flower at the neck. 
Blake created the sweet treat, which will be available at Sprinkles starting January, to benefit Oxfam’s Somalia famine disaster fund.
Blake appeared on Access Hollywood to talk about her S’mores cupcake, she gushed: ' I am so excited about [them] ! Yum!'
Sprinkles founder, Candace Nelson, told Access Hollywood. 'It’s my new favorite cupcake. It’s so good!'
Sweet tooth: Blake loves cupcakes - especially with a glass of milk
Lively's love for baking is no secret. While promoting "Green Latern" this past summer, Lively gushed to an interviewer about her passion:"I think baking is an incredible thing, cooking in general is an incredible thing. It's very peaceful, it's relaxing and it's an artform. It's also a science with baking, with the ingredients and whatever flavors you have is where you get artistic and creative."
Cheaper by the dozen: Blake cupcakes will be available in January 
In 2010 the actress even took part in a workshop with Chef Franck Poupard at Le Cordon Bleu Paris, where she prepared guinea fowel in a sealed casserole, sauteed winter root vegetables, and soft centered chocolate fondant with orange compote.
