Blake Lively is an actress known for both her optimistic attitude and talent for cooking. Yet the 27-year-old star raised her level of total creativity this week when she made a special surprise in celebration of Beyoncé's birthday--a bee-themed birthday cake.

With her birthday only just last week, Lively's special day was slightly painful, as the young star reportedly had a nasty confrontation with a swarm of bees the day before. Lively had been preparing to shoot for her brand new lifestyle themed website, Preserve, when the unfortunate encounter took place.

"Just yesterday, the final day of the shoot, I felt an electric shock of energy-was it excitement that I was about to turn another year older?" Lively wrote on her website. "Was it nerves? Why did it feel like agony? I like getting older...I think."

"But this felt terrible," Lively continued. "Does your butt quite suddenly (and painfully) deflate when your turn 27? Because mine hurt...then my neck, back, legs, and forehead. And oh my hands! They were shriveling. It felt like I was being shot by dozens of tiny invisible darts. I felt like the Wicked Witch, melting, melting, burning, melting."

However, Lively did not let her run-in with the bees discourage her. In fact, she managed to make light of her former situation by baking Beyoncé's surprise birthday treat this Thursday.

After posting a photo of her beautiful masterpiece via Preserve's Twitter page, Lively wrote a special message in the caption to the birthday girl. "Happy birthday to the Queen B! Enjoy a Meyer Lemon Honey Cake made by one of your worker Bs. Xo."

Yet the former Gossip Girl star's gorgeous creation is only a small display of her endless cooking talents. Back in 2010, Lively took classes at Le Cordon Bleu Paris, where she further developed her passion.

Lively even mentioned to Allure in the past that she would love to have her own restaurant one day--and by the looks of her incredible talent, it just might happen!
