Tom Hanks wants the cake Tom Cruise sends out during the holidays to be one of the last things he eats before he dies.
“Look at it! Look at it. Isn’t it gorgeous?” says Hanks in the video, holding his hands out in awe of the dessert which is a coconut Bundt cake with white chocolate filling. “This cake is so great, you can really only have it once a year, which works out perfectly because I don’t order it. It arrives as a gift at Christmas.”
In order to reveal who gifts him this cake every year, Hanks says he’s going to drop a “big name,” and obviously it’s one as big as his or else he wouldn’t have prepared the audience for the reveal. The cake, which is made byin Woodland Hills, California, comes as a gift from none other than the “Maverick” himself.
“This is a Christmas gift that we get every year from Tom Cruise,” Hanks says as Scherer’s cards go up in the air from delighted surprise. As Hanks graciously helps clean up the set and hands the host his cards back, he talks about what happens in the lead up to the cake arriving at his office every year.
“Everybody starts slicing thinner and thinner slices,” explains Hanks. “It’s a mathematical proof that if you just keep cutting everything in half, you will never run out of Tom Cruise cake.” This isn’t the first time the famous Tom Cruise cake has been mentioned — or bragged about — by the stars that have received it. The cake is somewhat of a top-of-the-glitterati litmus test: Sure, you’ve made it in Hollywood, you’re starring in movies, you have a No. 1 single, and you may even have won an Oscar or two. But has Tom Cruise sent you the cake?
