Christian McCaffrey’s wife, model and ex-Miss Universe Olivia Culpo, seems to have found a new dessert passion while pregnant. On Thursday, Culpo posted a snapshot of a DIY creamy cake, indicating she is trying her hand at culinary arts.

The model's recent baking efforts coincide with her second trimester, a period when many expectant mothers find increased energy after the initial pregnancy symptoms subside.

Although Culpo has not directly expressed her new baking interest, this social media engagement represents a significant departure from her typical fashion and beauty posts.

Culpo's foray into baking follows several other pregnancy-related revelations she's been candid about in recent interviews. She spoke last week to Forbes about adopting softer drugstore products over high-end skincare products to suit her evolving skin demands due to pregnancy.

During an interview, Culpo spoke of her increasing appreciation for her mother's homemaker skills, specifically regarding food preparation.

"Food just makes a house feel like home. I definitely want that same feeling in my house too," Culpo said in a late March interview.

Even though she confessed cooking still scares her, she also confided that she hopes to build similar traditions in her home.

Her pregnancy has brought on a few shifts in perspective, especially where her relationship with her mother is concerned.

"She's been so helpful, especially in the beginning when things were really tough," Culpo said of Susan Culpo.

Aside from the kitchen, Culpo has also kept herself occupied professionally. She introduced the "Cupshe x Olivia Culpo's Vacation Edit" – a 30-piece swim line featuring bikinis, one-piece suits and cover-ups ranging between $25.99 and $41.99.
