Blake Lively Kicked Off Her 31st Birthday by Utterly Demolishing a Box of Cupcakes

Whether it's a trolling contest with husband Ryan Reynolds or a day of outfit changes, Blake Lively always goes all out. For her thirty-first birthday on Saturday (August 25), she celebrated in a reliably over-the-top way: The actress and fashion icon consumed the best part of a dozen cupcakes, possibly by herself.

On the morning of her birthday, Lively hopped on Instagram Stories to share a photo of a dozen cupcakes from Sprinkles, a celeb-favorite cupcake outpost based in Beverly Hills. "Thank you, @sprinklescupcakes!" she captioned a photo of some admittedly delicious-looking cupcakes that spelled out "Happy Birthday Blake!"

Minutes later, Lively posted an after shot of her Sprinkles box. Where, just moments before, followers could once see a full box of cupcakes, there was utter wreckage: not a whole cupcake in sight.

She captioned the picture with a cheeky update: "Worked it," she wrote.
