Watching the Bullock sisters banter while baking is the best thing ever.
Nothing beats a sweet sisterly surprise — especially when it&#8217;s Sandra Bullock shocking her sister, TODAY regular Gesine Bullock-Prado.
On Tuesday, Gesine stopped by the TODAY kitchen to showcase a cherry lattice pie with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager &#8230; but Sandra had baked up a little surprise of her own!
Before the group started baking, an unsuspecting Hoda told the Vermont-based baker that the show had a special guest stopping by. &#8220;Before we begin, we do have a viewer who&#8217;s written a million times,&#8221; Hoda said. &#8220;She loves you. She&#8217;s never missed an episode of your show and she&#8217;s going to join us as your sous chef.&#8221;

What nobody guessed — including Hoda, who recently interviewed the actress about her incredible adoption experiences — was that Gesine&#8217;s big fan was actually her sister!
&#8220;I had no idea, I saw you this morning, you weirdo,&#8221; Gesine said to her sis (who was slyly introduced as &#8220;Annie Tate&#8221; before she walked into the kitchen.)
Sandra replied with a smile, &#8220;I lied.&#8221;
&#8220;How did you pull that off?&#8221; Hoda, in total shock, exclaimed. &#8220;That is crazy! We never pull anything off, we know everything!&#8221;
&#8220;Well,&#8221; said Sandra, &#8220;it&#8217;s time to pull some things off.&#8221;

After a round of hugs and kisses, everyone jumped into baking.

Gesine, host of Food Network&#8217;s &#8220;Baked in Vermont,&#8221; frequents TODAY to share recipes like adorable Valentine&#8217;s Day cookies and pastry masterpieces like a caramel apple pie and a Fourth of July berry pie.
&#8220;She said she would teach me how to bake on my birthday and she never did,&#8221; Sandra, who is currently promoting her new film &#8220;Oceans 8,&#8221; jested.
Tuesday was her lucky day!
As the sisters pulsed ʙuттer with lemon juice, they bickered over who is bossier and came to an agreement: Gesine is &#8230; but only in the kitchen — Sandra&#8217;s kitchen included.
&#8220;I cook on the weekends,&#8221; Sandra said. But her sister will come over to whip up a few things, too.
&#8220;And I cook in her house and I make a mess,&#8221; Gesine admitted.
As to whether Gesine pᴀsses her baking knowledge on to her sister, Sandra said, &#8220;She&#8217;s taught me nothing!&#8221; But Gesine said her sister just doesn&#8217;t listen when she tries.
&#8220;This is what we do on Sundays on the &#8216;Food Network,&#8217; we sit in our pajamas and watch her make the things she said she would teach me but never did,&#8221; Sandra said as she tried her sister&#8217;s pie.
Maybe it was because of Sandra&#8217;s sweet surprise, or maybe it was just the gorgeous cherry pie, but Hoda admitted this may have been her favorite segment ever.
