Sandra Bullock’s sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, is thought to have been comforting the star as she deals with the fallout from her husband’s massive cheating scandal. We haven’t seen Sandra at all apart from some paparazzi photos that showed her huddled down in a car outside her Hollywood Hills home. Stories had her enjoying Easter dinner with her sister and family in Vermont, where her sister lives. Her sister blogged that that story wasn’t true, though, and posted a scan of her plane ticket to Chicago to show that she wasn’t even in the state at the time. Bullock’s sister runs a bakery in Vermont and usually blogs about food, pastry and dessert.

As the old song lyric goes, “Lord help the mister/Who comes between me and my sister” – except in this case, make that Lord help the tabloid who doesn’t get it right about Sandra Bullock and her protective sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado.

Gesine is rising to her older sister’s defense to dispel published stories that purported to chart the Oscar winner’s Easter whereabouts as she deals with problems in her marriage to Jesse James.

Writing on her blog Confections of a (Closet) Master Baker, Bullock-Prado, who runs a bakery in Vermont, is shooting down rumors that Sandra spent the holiday with her sibling in the New England state.

Impossible, says Bullock-Prado, who was celebrating Easter and her own wedding anniversary with husband Ray “with poached eggs and crepes at Yolk on South Michigan Avenue” in Chicago, she writes.

“But wait,” she adds, “apparently I’m able to time travel,” given the tales that “reported that my husband of eleven years and I took my sister to some inn (which shall remain nameless because they’ve gotten enough free publicity from lying up to now) for Easter dinner.”

Bullock-Prado says she’s speaking out – and for once not focusing on food in her blog – because she’s “deadly serious about my family, their privacy and even the most benign fictions printed about them.”

As the proof of the pudding, as it were, Bullock-Prado produces physical evidence: her Chicago airline tickets.

“So to set the record completely straight, if the post on Easter about gorging my way through Chicago doesn’t convince you to my whereabouts and only my whereabouts, then let my reservations on the lovely United Airlines be a true and honest testament to what I ate for Easter dinner and with whom, and it wasn’t with my lovely family at some nameless Vermont inn I’ve never set eyes upon,” she writes.

“That night I ate alone and I ate airline food. And who the hell would lie about that?”

So Sandra wasn’t with her sister on Easter but there’s no word on if she’s seen her at all or how she’s doing, not that it’s our right to know but I’m curious of course. Everyone is wondering about Sandra and how she’s doing. We haven’t heard much and I think it might be a few months before she makes a public appearance.

Now that I’m hearing about her sister’s career I’m reminded of a small side project Sandra launched. Last November, Sandra was on The Tonight Show and introduced a new dessert snack she made called Aunt Luddy’s White Trash. From what I remember it was similar to Cracker Jax except with chocolate and included cereal, pretzels, nuts and popcorn. (I could be wrong about any of those ingredients.) She told a story about mixing up a batch of the stuff in Austin, Texas at a bakery along with a small team of people. Sandra said she made it after her Aunt Luddy’s recipe. “She (my aunt) cooked and took care of everyone and made this thing called White Trash… She was one of the most amazing women and givers of love.” Aunt Luddy’s White Trash is available at a bakery/deli called Walton’s Fancy and Staple in Austin, Texas. If you can’t get Bullock’s version and would like to try some, there are plenty of recipes for different variations of White Trash available. I know I would be downing that stuff for at least a day or two if I were in Bullock’s shoes. Usually any kind of chocolate does the trick, though. It doesn’t have to be complicated.
