The intimate gathering of novicebakerswas likely in honor of Bullock’s 59th birthday that same day, with Aniston also posting a series of photos to her 43 million followers on Instagram.

As she combined ingredients in a bowl, birthday girl Bullock took orders from Aniston and asked from behind the camera, “What step are we at now, missy?”

“I’m folding it in!” Bullock answered, to which Aniston responded, “That’s what he said,” which Hayes then repeated emphatically while theBullet Trainactress cracked up in the background.

Recovering from her laughing fit, Bullock good-naturedly scolded one of their off-camera friends, telling him, “Don’t pick your nose and then tell us how to cook!”
