The actress shared photos of a baked good that probably tasted better than it looked on her Instagram Stories on Sunday, July 7. 

The Alias star, 52, snapped pictures of a messy tray of blueberry muffins and wrote, "These blueberry muffins were made for the church potluck but are suffering from failure to thrive out of the muffin pan."

The large tray was full of fragments of muffins left in each cup. Garner said that she had prepared the tray properly but admitted to her mistake. "Yes, I prepped my pan; no, I didn't wait for them to cool," she wrote, adding that they were "still delicious."

She added another shot of the crumbled muffins and wrote, "#notaprettybaker."

"I make mine without sugar, and it seems to go down just fine, although, of course, my kids prefer when it is made by the queen herself. We love Grandmom," Jennifer said in the video.

Just a few weeks ago, on June 24, the Garners stopped by Today to give Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie, and the rest of the crew a taste of their "Pretend Cooking Show."

Pat, who made her Today debut, and Jennifer, who has been on the morning show "a million times," prepared "Barbara's Blackberry Cobbler" for Kotb, Guthrie, Craig Melvin, and Al Roker, with the help of Carson Daly. The Garners explained that Barbara, Jennifer's childhood best friend's mother, had shared the recipe with Pat many years ago, and it's still in her rotation.
