The Gossip Girl alum was spotted in good spirits while working behind the counter at Rise Doughnuts on Sunday.

The surprise pop-up comes as the new docu-series, In Dispute: Lively vs. Baldoni, which follows Lively's heated drama with Baldoni, airs on Monday.

On her Instagram Story, the actor gushed over her experience, writing, "baking with genius food friends and their kitchen mixer the size of a car."

She added, "This is what my happy place looks like," and dropped some yummy clips of the delicious donuts she created.

Meanwhile, an insider told People that Lively was "in a really happy mood" and said "she is friends with the owner."

Still, some fans weren't convinced of the A Simple Favor star's donut shift, claiming it looked like "PR damage control."

Lively has kept her public appearances minimal after suing Baldoni for sexual harassment, but even the A-listers deserve a donut break – or two!
