Why Everyone’s Talking About the “Tom Cruise Coconut Cake” Again
It’s not Christmas yet, but Tom Cruise’s famous coconut cake is already trending online. Fans and celebrities are once again talking about the Mission: Impossible star’s delicious holiday tradition, and it’s all thanks to a recent interview featuring BTS star Jin.
So what’s the story behind this cake that has Hollywood (and the internet) buzzing every year?
What Is the Tom Cruise Coconut Cake?
Tom Cruise has a long-running tradition of sending a very specific dessert to friends during the holiday season — a $130 white chocolate coconut bundt cake from Doan’s Bakery in Woodland Hills, California. This isn’t just any cake. It’s become known as “the Tom Cruise cake” in celebrity circles.
Each year, Cruise reportedly sends over 100 cakes to friends, co-stars, and even late-night hosts. It’s his way of spreading holiday cheer, and the cake has become somewhat legendary in the industry.
Why Is It Trending Now?
The cake made an unexpected comeback in online searches and fan discussions after Jin from BTS did a lie detector interview with Vanity Fair. When asked if he had ever received the famous coconut cake from Cruise, Jin said no — but quickly added that he’d love to get one someday.
That one comment sent fans into a frenzy, sparking curiosity about who actually gets the cake each year and how the tradition started.
Which Celebs Have Gotten the Cake?
Plenty of stars have spoken publicly about being on Tom Cruise’s Christmas list:
- Henry Cavill called the cake “decadent” and “amazing.”
- Tom Hanks said the cake is so rich, “you can only have it once a year.”
- Jimmy Fallon, Rosie O’Donnell, Graham Norton, and Kirsten Dunst are also on the “lucky” list.
- Even Barbara Walters once ate it live on TV.
According to Tom Hanks, he doesn’t buy the cake — Cruise sends it every year like clockwork, and it’s now part of his holiday routine.
