As sweet treats go, Tom Cruise takes the cake, or at least his signature Christmas gift to friends and family does.

Doan’s White Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake AKA The Tom Cruise Christmas Cake

His holiday-hallmark is to send a snow-covered cake to a long list of folks. The late Barbara Walters, Tonight Show Host Jimmy Fallon, and Academy Award winning actress Kirsten Dunst are a few of the A-Lister’s who’ve received the coveted confection from the movie-star with 46 flicks to his credit.

Realistically, it was a ‘Mission Impossible” for the ‘Top Gun’ to add STP’s name to his gift-‘Legend‘ so we decided to order one for ourselves.

The process was simple. An online marketplace for gourmet goodies, Goldbelly.com is the vendor for Doan’s bakery. Located in Woodland Hills, an affluent suburb of L.A., the mom and son family-biz satisfies a waiting-list for the $129.95 cake-star whose box-office status is often sold-out.

Banking on the timely delivery of what promised to be an “Endless Love” felt like ‘Risky Business’, But, the cake arrived, in Boston, on a transcontinental red-eye flight as promised.

Finally, it was time to find out what all the celeb’s are buzzing about!

Unwrapping the Goldbelly box added a sense of anticipation to the dream of sampling what appeared to be a ‘Vanilla Sky’. 

The flour-child arrived with a chartreuse satin bow, frosting smothered the voluptuous contours of her Bundt and tresses of white casually cascaded well around her body. This gal was fresh, she plated great and bits of white chocolate added to her “All the Right Moves’ constancy.  With a tangy edge to her personality she even stood-up to a coffee-based ‘Cocktail’.  She’s pretty. She’s tasty. In a lot of ways she’s memorable.

So, is the “American Made‘ cake worth the “Collateral’ ?  The answer depends on “The Color of Money” and if your Valentine would assume you’reLosin It” by living on the “Edge of Tommow’s” budget.  

STP’s inclined to say on Valentine’s day, do it your way.

Doan’s White Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake 

Cream-cheesy to the max this decadent tart shined even brighter posing on a gold-rimmed vintage plate with glittery Hollywood accessories. However, it won’t take an “Interview With A Vampire” to find copy-cat recipes for this sweetheart all over the internet. The ingredients are readily available. Mixing flour, baking powder, sour cream, butter, vanilla and chocolate bits requires more time than talent. The finger-licking good cream cheese and coconut frosting is To-Di-For and an easy fix to any baking mishaps that challenge a flawless finish.

Galentine’s ,Valentine’s or just hang out with ” A Few Good Men” make the “Knight and Day” yours anyway you want to…. but if you wanna Tom Cruise Christmas cake from Goldbelly for 2/14/ 25 order it before Doan’s sells out.

Let STP know which way you roll.
