Receiving a cake from Tom Cruise has become something of a status symbol over the years.
The Mission Impossible star sends out baked goods every Christmas, and there is a stunning coconut cake in particular that people love receiving.
Forget Oscars and Golden Globes, it's all about the cake.
Described as a white chocolate coconut bundt cake, it's a thing of beauty, and apparently, it's delicious, too.
Past recipients include Kirsten Dunst, Glen Powell, Renée Zellweger, and James Corden, with Dunst even raving on TV about how good it is.

She appeared on The Graham Norton Show and praised the gift: "It’s the best coconut cake I’ve ever had in my life.”
Many bakers and influencers have tried to recreate the cake but the recipe is a closely guarded secret.
Some actors have even shared their disappointment of being cut from the cake list - imagine how heartbroken you'd be!
Brooke Shields told People Magazine, "I was on the list for a while. I had a good 10-year run, and I got the coconut cake every year, which I was very happy [about]."
"And then the cake stopped. I want to get back on that cake list. It's the best cake."
It's made by Doan’s Bakery in Los Angeles, a family business set up by Karen Doan back in 1984.
To this day, it's run by her son Eric, and thanks to Tom Cruise, the coconut cake is the stuff of legend.
The bakery describes it as a ‘pillowy’ coconut bundt cake, teamed with sweet chunks of white chocolate.
If that doesn't sound delicious enough, it's then encased by a layer of rich cream cheese frosting and topped off with toasted coconut flakes.
It measures 10" in diameter and weighs a whopping 3 lbs, 12 oz.
We'll take four, thanks. Not to share, either.
The good news for us mere mortals (and for Brooke Shields if she never makes it back onto the list) is that you can actually buy the infamous cake.
You can order the iconic cake from Doan’s Bakery via the Goldbelly website.
It serves 12 to 16 people, and in the unlikely scenario that there's any leftover you can freeze it for up to four months.
Fancy one? You'll be the most popular guest this Christmas and it'll set you back $139.95.
