The Sex Lives of College Girls creator posted a snap of the scrumptious cake on her Instagram Stories on Thursday. 'IYKYK,' she simply wrote on the image, which means, 'If You Know, You Know.' The Story was set to the song 'Danger Zone' by Kenny Loggins, one of the hit singles from the soundtrack to Top Gun, which famously stars Cruise.

'My friends who have tried it, they love it so much that they hit me up right around December 1. "Hey, has it arrived yet?" So now I have a party at my house where I'll have the Cruise cake. It's my "Cruise Cake Party." And I'll invite people over to try a bite or two ... [they] can't get greedy. I really have to limit people. I can't let them come back for seconds.'.
