Doan's Bakery in California has become a holiday sensation thanks to its famous coconut cake, gifted annually by Tom Cruise to his Hollywood friends.
There’s one dessert that’s the talk of Tinseltown around the holidays: the so-called “Tom Cruise cake.” in Woodland Hills, California got its nickname because the “Mission Impossible” star famously gifts the dessert to his Hollywood friends at the end of every year.
Tom Cruise was featured on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” and said, So, instead of treating himself during the holidays, he treats his costars and colleagues to the coconut cake with chunks of white chocolate covered in cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut shavings. Mindy Kaling shared a photo of the cake On Dec. 19, Mindy Kaling shared a photo of the cake on her Instagram story with the caption “Iykyk” (an abbreviation for the phrase “If you know, you know”) The cake was also featured in the Season 3 premiere of “Hacks,” where fictional superstar comedian Deborah Vance (played by Jean Smart) is lucky enough to be sent one of the cakes, which is immediately clocked by her protege Ava (Hannah Einbinder). The cake was invented by Karen Doan, who established Doan’s Bakery in 1983 by baking desserts for restaurants, coffee houses, caterers and private events. According to the bakery, “It’s amazing seeing it go from my grandma renting out kitchens, making wholesale cakes for her friend’s restaurant in ‘83 to now,” Alexis Doan, Eric’s daughter, tells TODAY.com. Alexis acts as the store manager and assists during the busy holiday season. Alexis says that Cruise orders around 300 to 400 cakes from the bakery every year, adding that the bakery doesn’t ship them out, so they’re unaware who in Hollywood is actually receiving them. The bakery sells the cakes through Goldbelly for $129.95 including shipping. Alexis says if you pick it up in person, the cake, which has 12 to 16 servings, costs $59. The bakery also sells a medium size that serves six to eight people for $39 and an individual portion for $9. Although there’s a markup on Goldbelly, it’s proven super popular there and is sold out through late-February. The bakery ships out roughly 50 cakes per day, five days a week through the online marketplace
