A “sweet indulgence for your mind, heart, and tastebuds”—now a major motion picture starring Yara Shahidi, Odessa A'zion, and Bette Midler (Molly Tarlov, MTV's Awkward). Meeting Mr. Right is never easy. And in a big city like Los Angeles, it's even harder. So, after years of fruitless efforts at finding a soul mate, Audrey Shulman decided to take a different route to a man's heart—through his sweet tooth. Whipping up a variety of sinfully delicious cakes, Audrey invaded the savage singles scene fully armed with butter, sugar, and frosting. Sitting in Bars with Cake recounts Audrey's year spent baking, bar-hopping, and offering slices of cake to men in the hope of finding a boyfriend (or, at the very least, a date).
