Food Network's Sandra Lee catches a lot of flak from "foodies" about her semi-homemade approach to cooking, but isn't semi-homemade better than completely store-bought? Turns out, mega-star Angelina Jolie thinks so. According to People.com, the actress whipped up Lee's No-Bake Birthday Cake for her son Maddox's big day.

 Lee herself was thrilled at the news, "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."

 I'm impressed that Jolie has time to even semi-make a cake--with 6 kids, a career and a constant flow of philanthropic endeavors, she's clearly very busy. In my opinion, a cake made from scratch beats out one you buy in a store any day of the week, but I also don't see anything wrong in buying a prepared product when time won't permit you to bake. I'm willing to bet even the most fervent home-cooks turn to convenience products now and again. Do you make your kids' birthday cakes from scratch?
