Let them eat cake: Katie Holmes woos co-stars with treats

Katie Holmes, with her husband Tom Cruise, is winning friends with sweets on her latest film project
Katie Holmes is putting her charm to work while on set of her latest film Mad Money, treating the cast and crew to goodies for the third consecutive week.

The former Dawson's Creek star, who married Tom Cruise in November, bought cupcakes for around 200 members of cast and crew on the set of the comedy, a cast member told American magazine People.

Holmes, whose co-stars on the film include Queen Latifah, Diane Keaton and Ted Danson, started the special treats three weeks ago when she bought ice cream cones for everyone as the temperatures climbed into the high 80s.

The next week she arranged for more than 80 pizzas to be flown in from Chicago and baked locally before being delivered to the set.

The source said: "It was a lot of pizza. We had veggie, sausage, pepperoni. It was good pizza."

Holmes' sweet nature may be winning points at work, but at home she's much tougher, insists pal Jada Pinkett Smith.

Responding to claims Holmes' marriage to Tom Cruise is in trouble, Pinkett Smith said: "I think everybody has this image: Poor little Kate, she doesn't have the strength to take care of herself. People don't know that behind all that grace is a tiger."
