Tom Cruise gifts $126 Christmas cake to A-list actress (but it’s NOT Brooke Shields who got CUT from his curious annual list)

As I delve deeper into the captivating world of Tom Cruise and his legendary holiday cake, I find myself mesmerized by the sheer magnitude of his influence. This man has not only graced our screens with his exceptional acting skills, but he has also touched the hearts of many through his unique tradition of spreading joy during the festive season.

Tom Cruise’s Christmas Bundt cake is a coveted gift amongst Hollywood stars.

Each year, the actor from Mission: Impossible, now 62, traditionally shares a delicious $126 coconut dessert with several fortunate individuals on his holiday gift list.

This December, it was my pleasure to join the ranks, as Mindy Kaling, at 45, also found her spot. She happily showed off her delightful dessert indulgence by sharing a photo of it, beaming with pride.

On Thursday, the creator of “The Sex Lives of College Girls” shared a photo of a delicious-looking cake on her Instagram Stories.

She expressed with a post, “If you get it, you get it,” referring to the term that implies understanding something intuitively without needing an explicit explanation. The narrative was accompanied by the tune ‘Danger Zone’ by Kenny Loggins, a popular track from the Top Gun soundtrack, where Tom Cruise plays the lead role.

Yearly, Cruise dispatches a high-end confectionery treat to a roster of A-list celebrities he’s collaborated with in Tinsel Town. Some luminaries have remained on this list for many years, whereas others join and depart occasionally.

This year, another fortunate individual receiving from Tom was Glen Powell, his co-star in Top Gun: Maverick. On his Instagram earlier this month, he posted a picture of the cake.

Previously, Powell has enthusiastically praised a cake, expressing to Jennifer Hudson on her chat show that it was “the most scrumptious cake you’ve ever tasted.

Indeed, the actor delights so much in the dessert that every year, he hosts a party for his friends, treating them all to a slice of the cake.

Friends who’ve tasted it are absolutely smitten, asking me about it around December 1st: “Has it arrived yet?” This cake, the Cruise Cake, is causing quite a stir, so I’m hosting a get-together to share it. It’s my “Cruise Cake Gathering.” I plan to extend invitations for folks to sample a piece or two… I must control the crowd because I can’t let them have seconds!

Not all stars remain so lucky. 

To give an example, last year saw Brooke Shields admitting that it was the initial occasion in a decade where she didn’t receive one of his renowned tasty cakes during the festive season.

As I reflect, I’ve been honored to be on that distinguished list for quite some time now. It’s been an incredible decade, filled with memorable moments, and each year, I looked forward to savoring my favorite coconut cake.

According to Shields, there were initially three people – them, Suri, and Katie. However, over time, both Suri and Katie were absent, leaving only Tom behind.

‘Then it went from just Tom for a while, but not every holiday. And then the cake stopped.’

As a lifestyle enthusiast, let me share my personal request: I long to reclaim my spot on the esteemed cake list. The cakes there are simply unparalleled, and I yearn to return. Dear Tom, your assistance in helping me regain my position would be greatly appreciated.

According to Goldbelly, this cake features a luscious, moist coconut Bundt ring, pieces of sweet white chocolate, a cream cheese icing layer, and a sprinkling of toasted coconut on the surface.

Karen and Eric Doan, the mother-son team behind the bakery where the renowned cake is made, both expressed their heartfelt gratitude for Cruise’s yearly generous donations.

‘This year has been a really rough ride,’ Eric told Yahoo back in December 2020.

‘In March and April, we wondered if we were even going to be able to stay open.’

He expressed that the holiday season has been whirling by for him, and furthermore, he acknowledged that Cruise’s instructions were one of the key factors that helped us survive throughout the pandemic.

‘There were years they kept us in business,’ he added.

It’s been claimed that Cruise hasn’t tasted the cake personally. However, Karen attests that he has had a taste of it at least one time.

Diane Keaton showed Cruise a cake, and it was revealed by Karen to ET that Diane Keaton and Katie Holmes were having a friendly competition about their knowledge of the best cakes.

As a devoted admirer, I was chosen to serve as the judge, and in honor of my role, each party sent me a scrumptious cake. Among all the delectable choices, it was the classic coconut Bundt cake from Doan Bakery that won my heart, courtesy of Keaton.

Despite being reminded that Tom Cruise is known for avoiding sugar, she disagreed firmly, asserting, “He consumes it. He consumes it.

It’s not just Hollywood celebrities who receive Tom Cruise’s cakes; he also delivers them to producers, media personnel, and high-ranking executives.

It’s said that Cruise reportedly organized for 300 Christmas cakes to be flown over from Los Angeles to the United Kingdom on his personal aircraft, intended as gifts for the cast and crew of Mission: Impossible 7.

According to a source, Tom decided to surprise his Mission: Impossible team with a special Christmas treat – delicious cakes from his favorite bakery in Los Angeles.

Regardless of fame, people can’t seem to get enough of this individual’s cakes. Kirsten Dunst even declared it as “the best coconut cake I’ve tasted throughout my entire life,” and James Corden expressed his amazement by calling it ‘incredible.’

Listed here are the celebrities who have shared their privilege of being on Tom Cruise’s birthday cake wish list.

Kirsten Dunst was the first one to reveal Cruise’s annual cake gifting tradition

Initially, it was Dunst who disclosed the secret about the cakes, thus making her the first celebrity to reveal to the world that Cruise has an annual tradition involving cakes.

In a 2015 interview with Stylist magazine, she said: ‘[Tom] sends me a cake every Christmas.

‘It’s so good – a coconut cake with white chocolate chips. It gets eaten within a day in my house.’

She also appeared on The Graham Norton Show in 2016 to dish on what she dubbed ‘the Cruise cake.’

‘He gives me this cake every Christmas,’ she explained.

‘The dessert we refer to as the Cruise Cake is actually a delightful coconut cake. To me, it’s the most exquisite coconut cake I’ve ever tasted.’

Initially, she encountered Cruise when they were both undergoing auditions for the movie “Interview with a Vampire” in 1994. Interestingly, she attributes him for assisting her in securing that very role.

In an interview at Netflix’s Playback, Dunst shared that she had auditioned numerous times for this specific role. It held significant importance to her since it marked a major milestone in her career, serving as her breakthrough part.

Following that, there was another screen test for me with Tom Cruise. I recall being the tallest among all the younger females in attendance.

He needed to lift each of us off the ground and walk around with us, comparing our appearances to Tom’s, to determine which one of us seemed the most childlike.

In a low voice, Tom advised me to pull my legs up, aiming to make me appear smaller since I was the tallest girl among us.

According to Dunst, he seemed to be cheering me on. Since we’re both from New Jersey, it felt as if he was saying something along the lines of, “Go ahead and win, my fellow Garden State resident.

Tom Hanks has said that the coconut Bundt cake would be part of his last meal 

Tom Hanks has raved about what a treat it is to receive Cruise’s annual Christmas gift.

In fact, Hanks claimed he would include it in his last meal if he was on death row.

On his appearance on the Mythical Kitchen’s Last Meal segment, he declared that his final meal would consist of Bundt cake for dessert, French toast made from challah bread, an In-N-Out Double-Double burger, a Greek salad with avocado, calamari, and El Cholo’s Taste Of History platter, all washed down with a diet Dr. Pepper.

Hanks lit up when Cruise’s cake was brought out during the interview.

‘Look at it! Look at it. Isn’t it gorgeous?’ he exclaimed.

This extraordinary cake comes just once a year, making it ideal since I never order it myself. Instead, it gracefully appears as a festive gift during the holiday season, particularly at Christmas.

In due time, Hanks proudly declared his inclusion in the yearly ranking and elaborated on how he generously bestows this achievement upon his TV production company, Playtone.

‘This is a Christmas gift that we get every year from Tom Cruise,’ Hanks stated.

As a diligent follower, I find myself intrigued by the team at our Playtone headquarters around Thanksgiving. They seem to carefully scrutinize the mail that’s arrived each day.

Is this the ‘Tom Cruise’ cake, which is absolutely amazing? It’s simply outstanding!

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but notice the intriguing pattern unfolding: each slice we make is becoming progressively thinner. It’s almost as if it’s a mathematical theorem – if we continue to halve and halve the Tom Cruise cake, it will never cease to exist!

Hanks and Cruise collaborated on “America: A Tribute to Heroes,” which might have brought them closer, but it’s probable that Tom Hanks made it onto the list due to his immense fame as the Forrest Gump actor.

Jon Hamm doesn’t know how he ended up on Cruise’s cake list before Top Gun: Maverick

Jon Hamm has been getting the renowned Cruise cakes for some time now.

In a 2022 conversation with THR, Hamm expressed his admiration for the cake, describing it as “the most delicious cake I’ve tasted throughout my entire life.” He also mentioned enjoying each bite of it for as long as he could.

When queried about being on a specific list, he confirmed, “Indeed, I am on it. That particular treat is definitely highly awaited.

As a devoted admirer, let me tell you, I was already digging deep into that specific detail long before the project of this film even crossed my path.

He continued: ‘I don’t know how, but I remember getting it at one point and thinking, “This might be the best cake I’ve ever had in my life.” And it still delivers, even over the pandemic.

‘It does keep, I’ll say that. It keeps for a while, and like a lot of cakes, it’s good a little stale, too. So we savor it. We do not descend upon it.’

On the set of Top Gun: Maverick, Hamm collaborated alongside Cruise, and he’s been full of praise for the friendly reception he got from the star of The Mummy.

During an interview with TODAY, Hamm reminisced about his first day on set, recalling that he met Tom Cruise for the first time. Cruise greeted him warmly, saying “Hey,” before approaching, offering a hearty hug, and expressing how delighted he was to have Hamm there.

‘It’s a rare thing to be in the presence of a guy like that,’ he said of Cruise.

In truth, they had already crossed paths a decade earlier, specifically at Jimmy Kimmel’s residence, before the release of Top Gun: Maverick.

Hamm said Kimmel was known for throwing all-day football viewing parties with big groups of people.

‘They’d have a keg and he’d make pizzas,’ he said on the Howard Stern Show.

‘It was LA so it’s sunny and games start at 10 in the morning.’

Initially, upon learning that Cruise attended the gathering, Hamm assumed it was a playful trick, reminiscent of Kimmel’s style.

However, he realized that ‘it’s not a Tom Cruise impersonator, it is Tom Cruise — with his mom.’

Beyond that, it was discovered that Cruise admired Hamm’s performance in the series “Mad Men,” which aired from 2007 to 2015.

He had a distinct resemblance to Tom Cruise – his delivery was straightforward and passionate. In his words, as he reminisced, it sounded something like this: “I adore that program. I truly admire that program.

‘”Thanks man.” Holy cow. That was a good day.’

Angela Bassett ate up her cake so quickly that her husband Courtney B. Vance didn’t get a slice 

Angela Bassett enjoyed Courtney B. Vance’s cake so thoroughly that there wasn’t any left over for him to have a piece, as she savored it all herself.

She talked about the subtlety in Tom Cruise’s aura during their joint appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Cruise explained why he didn’t consume the cake personally, revealing instead that he gave it to all the people working on the set of Mission Impossible: Fallout.

In 2018, Tom Cruise shared with his fellow actor and Corden that he adores sugar, but he can’t consume it when he’s training. Instead, he shares it with others. Specifically, he gave some to the stunt team.

In the movie, Bassett was the leading actress, and as a result, she received a Bundt cake too. When Cruise revealed he had sent one for her and her spouse, she playfully quipped, “I was the only one who consumed it.

Apart from other topics, she also talked about the Tom Cruise Coconut Cake (TCCC) on The Kelly Clarkson Show. She mentioned that she personally ordered an upgraded version of this dessert for herself.

At our 25th anniversary celebration, it was a delight to have shared a beautiful three-layered TCCC cake. However, as an interesting confession, Bassett revealed that he ended up enjoying the entire third layer all on his own.

It appears that Bassett nearly relished working alongside Cruise on Mission Impossible: Fallout just about as much as he did savoring the cake.

Ever since I catch a glimpse of him on set, his eyes sparkle and he calls out my name with this infectious enthusiasm – that’s the moment I live for, I simply can’t help but share! (This was said on Kelly and Ryan)

He brightens up around you and offers a heartwarming hug. He ensures all your needs are met with utmost care.

James Corden and his staff on The Late Late Show receive cakes that Cruise himself has never tried 

On multiple occasions, Corden has shared his thoughts on Cruise’s lack of cake-tasting experience. It was actually him who disclosed this fascinating detail about the Top Gun star.

During his appearance on Heart Breakfast, he revealed that not only is he on the list but so are his colleagues from The Late Late Show.

As a devoted fan, I must admit that it’s astonishing to observe how, more often than not, individuals working on The Late Late Show receive one of those delightful cakes. (This is based on the original statement: ‘It’s unbelievable, I would say almost everybody he meets who works on The Late Late Show gets one of these cakes,’ the TV host said.)

Our main writers, Ian and Lauren, are remarkably open-hearted and giving, similar to how they treat various individuals they encounter.

Yet, he asserted that Tom hadn’t tasted his famous cake, remarking: ‘Here’s something astonishing. He’s never even taken a bite of it!’

Upon hearing this, Jason King – one of the show’s presenters – exclaimed in disbelief, “No!” However, James persisted with conviction, declaring, “By all that I hold dear!

Additionally, Corden mentioned that he personally received the cake from Tom Cruise during his appearance on The Late Late Show alongside Angela Bassett.

When Cruise said he avoided sugar during training, Corden playfully teased him by saying he makes others “appear chubby” or “give the impression of being overweight,” due to his indulgence in sweet pastries.

‘I woke up to someone knocking on my door,’ he said of the moment he received his first TCCC.

At around 8 am, I received a fantastic chocolate cake as a good-luck gift for the Grammys, which came with a note from Tom Cruise.

‘I was like: “This is how you look so good. You make everyone around you fat!”‘

Over time, although they haven’t collaborated on a movie, Tom Cruise and James Corden have forged a strong friendship. On multiple instances, Corden has invited Cruise to appear as a guest on his nighttime talk show.

The two even sky dived together on one episode in 2018.

Henry Cavill almost didn’t eat the cake but he’s certainly glad he did 

As Cavill climbs the ranks of Hollywood, he has also found a spot on Cruise’s Christmas cake list.

He told Access Hollywood he was initially afraid to try the cake but once he did, he ‘loved it.’

He mentioned that during Christmas, he got a cake with the note, “‘Dear Henry, Merry Christmas, from Tom Cruise.'” It was quite unusual to read such a message.

He said, “I took the cake, but it seemed more like a super-healthy coconut type, not particularly delicious. No sweet treat vibe, so I decided to put it in the refrigerator and leave it there.

However, upon Superman’s attempt to taste it, he found it to be an extraordinarily indulgent, astonishing, and unexpected cake – a delightful surprise coming from none other than Tom Cruise. He adored it immensely, devouring it enthusiastically.

In addition, Cavill has enthusiastically praised collaborating with Cruise on Mission Impossible: Fallout. He described the helicopter sequence as the most challenging and, physically speaking, the most taxing scene he’s tackled throughout his acting career.

However, he ‘absolutely loved the sequence, and it was so worth it.’

Additionally, Cruise commended Cavill’s acting in the movie, particularly the self-improvised “reload-the-arm” scene that left an impression on him.

In the editing suite, we kept replaying it multiple times, almost in slow motion. He remarked on BBC Radio 1, “We were astonished, ‘How on earth did you manage that, Henry?’

Cruise sends Prince William and Kate Middleton a cake after claiming he ‘loves the royals’ 

It appears that cruise has generously delivered a sweet treat, traditionally his specialty, to the esteemed royals, Prince William and Kate Middleton.

According to a source, over the recent holiday period, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were added to Tom Cruise’s guest list.

In fact, the source used the cake as evidence of how much ‘star power’ the royal couple had.

According to the source, this group is essentially a list of key figures who significantly influence the international entertainment and show business scene.

They added: ‘Adding the royals to the list just shows how their star power travels.’

I had the privilege of meeting Prince William and Princess Kate at an exclusive viewing of the movie Top Gun: Maverick, which he stars in.

Upon meeting him, Cruise revealed that he had ‘a lot in common’ with Prince William.

He shared with MyLondon that there are many similarities between us. Not only do we share a deep affection for England, but we’re also both passionate about aviation and the thrill of flight.

As reported by Vanity Fair, William underwent training with the military as a helicopter pilot. Interestingly, Tom Cruise didn’t just portray a pilot on screen, but he also earned his pilot’s license in 1994 in real life.

Cruise also reportedly ‘loves the royals,’ as per The Telegraph. 

Jimmy Fallon hopes he continues to make the cut each year 

Corden isn’t the only late-night show host to receive Cruise’s decadent cake.

In a chat with Cobie Smulders on his program in 2019, Jimmy Fallon disclosed that like her, he had also received the cake, expressing his wish to keep his name on the guest list.

‘Tom Cruise will send you a cake during the holidays,’ he explained.

He went on to say, “That’s Tom Cruise.” In simpler terms, if you receive something from Tom Cruise, like a cake, you enjoy it, store it in the freezer, and keep it saved for a whole year.

Added the talk show host: ‘I hope I get the cake this year.’

Although Cruise hasn’t acted alongside Fallon in any previous projects, it is possible that they have worked together on something in the past.

In their appearance on The Tonight Show hosted by Jimmy Fallon, they engaged in a lip-sync competition with one another.

Cobie Smulders coined his annual gift as ‘Tom Cruise deliciousness’

During her interview with Fallon, Smulders revealed that she is also on the list.

She too raved about the ‘unbelievable’ cake claiming that ‘it’s Tom Cruise deliciousness.’

‘It’s a white chocolate, coconut cake and it’s unbelievable,’ she told the talk show host.

The actress from “How I Met Your Mother” went on to say: ‘I get it, and perhaps discussing it on TV will guarantee that I definitely receive it. However, it’s simply fantastic.’

I store it in the freezer, and it remains frozen until around March. I gradually take off bits of it.

‘It’s so good. I don’t know why. I’m not even a big sweets person, but it’s so good.’

She added: ‘It’s Tom Cruise deliciousness.’

During her work on the 2016 film, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, Smulders developed a strong connection with the action movie star.

She booked the role just after filming for How I Met Your Mother wrapped.

She shared with ET that she had decided to concentrate on movies instead, as she preferred not to be bound by a long-term agreement.

Instead of aimlessly jumping from character to character for self-challenge, I hadn’t envisioned setting a specific goal such as starring in an action film alongside Tom Cruise.

Just like the cake, she found working with Cruise to be a ‘real blessing.’

I can’t help but gush over it – being part of a Tom Cruise action film, where I got to perform countless stunts and push myself physically, felt like pure serendipity! He’s not just a pro, he’s a genius.

Rosie O’Donnell has shown off her cakes on Instagram for the past three years 

Apart from discussing the receipt of Tom Cruise’s cakes, Rosie O’Donnell has also shared evidence on her social media platforms.

In December 2020, she unveiled the Christmas gift she received from ‘Tommy’ on Instagram. The gift was a beautifully packaged, cream-colored box adorned with a bow and a jeweled reindeer ornament.

The label on the present was written for ‘Rosie O’Donnell’ and said: “Sending you warmest holiday greetings.

‘Christmas is here when Tommy’s gift shows up,’ Rosie captioned the image on Instagram.

The following year, in 2021, she posted another picture of the signature gift box.

She wrote: ‘Christmas cake has arrived – thank u tommy (sic).’

In the year 2022, she offered Instagram followers a peek inside the actual cake. She opened up the container and displayed the circular coconut-sprinkled dessert.

‘My tommy sent me a coconut cake !! i love that guy (sic),’ she captioned the post.

During an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show, O’Donnell expressed that she has been friends with Cruise for a quarter of a century and emphasized her enduring affection for him.

O’Donnell stated that there’s one individual who has always managed to attend my birthday and every significant life event during the 25 years I’ve known him.

“People often assume that everyone is connected in Hollywood and among celebrities, but my acquaintance with him dates back to 25 years ago, so it’s more like reconnecting with an old friend.

‘But every year, I think what a classy guy he is that he never has forgotten my birthday.

Many individuals have told me they consider him only a secretary, but I’m skeptical about this. I strongly believe that he becomes aware around early March that it’s Rosie’s birthday and arranges for a gift to be sent my way. This has been happening every year for the past 25 years.

She emphasized again her deep affection for Tom Cruise, stating unequivocally that this feeling remains constant. However, she admitted to not fully comprehending the beliefs of Scientology.

Renee Zellweger enjoys being on the cake list almost as much as she enjoyed working with Cruise 

As a connoisseur of celebrity lifestyles, I can confidently say that among the elite group of A-listers, Renee Zellweger is one of the fortunate few who receive Brady Bunch-themed goodies from Tom Cruise during the festive holiday season.

When Zellweger went on The Graham Norton Show, he asked her if she was still ‘on the cake list.’

Additionally, she mentioned that he had been included on a list for cakes, something he discovered only that very day. It turns out, he hadn’t had the chance to taste the cake or even learn of its existence, as his team would consume it right away.

‘I didn’t know we were on the Tom Cruise cake list until today,’ he told Zellweger.

I haven’t personally witnessed that delicious cake. A colleague exclaimed, “It’s the most delightful cake I’ve ever tasted!

‘It is a nice cake,’ the actress chimed in.

Zellweger first met Cruise when she filmed Jerry Maguire with him in 1996.

In the movie, she had a major debut, marking her first significant role in Hollywood. Yet, despite this, Tom Cruise warmly received her.

In the room, the aura of stardom around him vanishes, and you see the genuine individual he truly is, as stated by Zellweger in an interview with Yahoo!’s Role Recall.

‘He shakes your hand, looks you in the eye, [says] “Happy to meet you,” and he is. And he’s curious about you and wants to get to know you. And it’s very easy to like him.’

She raved about how ‘amazing’ it was to not only meet him, but to discover that he was ‘warm and kind.’

She shared with Variety that it was truly heartwarming to finally encounter a person whom I had deeply respected for such a prolonged period. To my delight, this individual turned out to be genuinely sincere, welcoming, and considerate.

On that day, we were preparing to engage in one of my beloved activities, namely setting up a scene. It turned out to be quite a remarkable day.

Cruise, she continued, is ‘so thoughtful and committed.’

She mentioned, “He never underestimates any part of it. He’s incredibly dedicated, finding great pleasure in every step. His professionalism truly impresses me, and that’s the lesson I gained. It’s evident he adores filmmaking – genuinely so.

Like O’Donnell, Zellweger added that ‘he never forgets my birthday.’

Cruise also thinks highly of his Jerry Maguire co-star.

“Renee, I will always remember her. The moment she walked in, it felt like magic. It was evident that she had a natural, untamed talent,” he shared with ET.

Miles Teller received a cake from the costar that he feels can ‘never be matched’ 

I’ve recently found myself on Tom Cruise’s illustrious cast list, having played the role of Lt. Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw in Top Gun: Maverick.

At the grand opening of the movie on the red carpet, there was much talk about Tom Cruise’s renowned cake, and Penn Jillette could only express praise for it.

He gushed, ‘The coconut cake is very good. I have one in my fridge right now.’

Naturally, Teller met Cruise while working on the hit sequel.

Teller has plenty of respect for the A-list actor and claimed that he ‘will never be matched.’

He mentioned on the Dan Fogler’s 4D Xperience podcast that he had already invested a significant amount of time, even before your arrival, to be precise, for many years.

He continued: ‘It’s just wonderful to be a part of something like that because he’s doing so much heavy lifting and he’s literally just nonstop and his attention to detail is just ridiculous. It will never be matched.’

Additionally, he shared a special connection with Cruise when they both experienced an incident during their flight for filming. It turned out that the illness was due to traces of jet fuel in his system.

‘I was like, “Well, Tom, it turns out I have jet fuel in my blood,”‘ he shared

In that instant, Tom responded casually as if it were second nature, saying, “Oh yes, I was born with it, kid,” which felt distinctly Tom-like to me.

It appears that Teller found working alongside Cruise extremely enjoyable, leading to discussions between them regarding a potential Top Gun 3.

He conveyed to ET that it would be wonderful, but ultimately depends on TC, regarding the likelihood of another sequel for Tom Cruise.

‘It’s all up to Tom. I’ve been having some conversations with him about it. We’ll see.’

Jay Ellis had his cake frozen and shipped to Mexico 

Jay Ellis, who portrayed Lt. Reuben ‘Payback’ Fitch in Top Gun: Maverick, is now among those on the significant roster of actors who have worked alongside Tom Cruise in a movie, akin to being on his list of co-starring roles in cakes (figuratively speaking).

Actually, Ellis adores the cake so deeply that he arranged for it to be delivered to Mexico when his family was set to vacation there during the holidays.

‘The cake is coveted in this town,’ Ellis said on The Jennifer Hudson Show.

‘It’s literally like getting a trophy.

Each year, we receive the cake as a tradition. The excitement of getting it never fades, making each occasion special since you want to ensure your name remains on the recipient list.

‘My family, we all met in Mexico to spend Christmas together.

While I was off shooting a film, I found myself saying, “Mom, could you please freeze this cake and bring it to Mexico?” The entire family responded, “Of course, let’s freeze the cake.

Regardless if it’s dry ice or ice cubes, we chilled our cake beforehand. Later, we brought it to Mexico, allowed it to defrost, and finally enjoyed it on Christmas Day.

During their time working on Top Gun: Maverick, Ellis deeply admired Tom Cruise. He often referred to the actor from Jerry Maguire as his ‘guide’ or ‘inspiration’.

He’s incredibly kind-hearted. His generosity with his time truly leaves me in awe, and I believe that’s one of the most remarkable qualities about him, as shared with Us Weekly.

If you send him a text message, he tends to respond with something like, “I’ll give you a call.” In such cases, he might end up calling you and engaging in a conversation that could last anywhere between 30 to 50 minutes. During this chat, he might delve into various topics and scenarios.

‘He’s just amazing [as] a mentor, a friend, a filmmaker, an acting coach, all of the above.

As a lifestyle expert, let me share my personal experience: I was fortunate enough to collaborate with an esteemed professional for a staggering 10-month journey, creating a movie together. Afterward, we invested additional time, effort, and patience in releasing it globally and embarking on an unforgettable press tour.

‘It’s crazy. It’s absolutely bonkers,’ he enthused.

Barbara Walters and her The View cohosts tasted the cake during the show 

Tom Cruise treated Barbara Walters and the ladies of The View to his holiday cake in 2013.

In fact, Walters was so excited to show it off that she and her cohosts ate it during the show.

As she gracefully unveiled a handsome, cream-colored bow from a decorative box, the enthusiastic host, though not quite in her prime years at 84, expressed her excitement by saying, “This is a gift from Tom Cruise!

‘And everyone here got one, not just me,’ she added. ‘Isn’t that nice?’

During that period, Jenny McCarthy, Whoopi Goldberg, and Sherri Shepherd were among her fellow hosts, with Hilaria Baldwin serving as a guest host on occasion.

‘Let’s get a fork,’ Sherri suggested as she took a look at the confection.

Based on their on-camera reactions, the ladies seemed to thoroughly enjoy the cake.

Apart from the times he appeared on The View in 2005 and 2009, she also conducted an individual interview with him back in 1992.
