Blake Lively chose an interesting design for her son’s first birthday cake, which is causing quite a divide among her fans.
The Green Lantern The actress has been married to her former co-star Ryan Reynolds for over ten years and during their marriage the couple had four children together: James, Inez, Betty and Olin.
Their youngest son, Olin, was born in February last year, and while the couple initially remained tight-lipped about the name and gender of their baby, Reynolds revealed his name at the New York premiere of Deadpool and Wolverine on July 22 and announced his gender in a later video posted on Instagram.

Meanwhile, Lively is busy promoting her latest film It ends with us (based on the very popular novel of the same name by Colleen Hoover) and also had some news to share on Olin.
In an interview with BBC Radio 2 Zoe Ball and friendsLively – who is known for her great baking talent – revealed the cake she baked for Olin’s first birthday. And instead of going the traditional route with giraffes, unicorns or even Mickey Mouse, Lively decided to bake her son a boob cake.
“My birthday cakes always have a sense of humor,” she explained. “For my baby, I just made a giant set of tits that I think will haunt him for the rest of his life.”
“But what do they want all of a sudden? He can’t say what he wants. So, boobs!” she added.
“I’ll show you a picture later, they’re pretty great,” before clarifying: “Of the cake, not mine… But also great.”
Lively’s brilliant yet crazy idea for a breast cake has sparked completely divided opinions among her fans online: some find it hilarious, others think she will regret it.

One Reddit user wrote: “Someone needs to stop her because at best she’s telling weird stories like this and at worst she’s ruining a person’s entire career. And I mean, those birthday pictures are not going to age well.”
Another user added: “Blake, when everyone told you to stop talking about your hair care line, that wasn’t a request to share it.”
“Okay, but why do we need to know?” another interjected.
But there is also the other half out there who defends Lively’s cake and calls it “hilarious.”

Under the snippet of the BBC Radio 2 clip on Instagram, one user commented: “I don’t know how anyone could watch this and not like her. She sounds hilarious.”
Another also wrote: “Hey this is everything my son wanted at one point!! Great idea. I love it so much.”
“Now I want to see the cake, I’m curious lol,” joked another.
Lively’s recent press run for It ends with us was not without controversy and rumors of feuds, as well as disappointment over Lively’s handling of the film’s subject matter, which cast a shadow over the film’s reception.
