Description

Inspired by true events, Sitting in Bars with Cake follows best friends Jane (Yara Shahidi) and Corinne (Odessa A’zion) navigating life in Los Angeles in their twenties. Corinne, the ultimate extrovert, convinces her shy-but-extremely-talented home baker best friend Jane to commit to a year of baking cakes and bringing them to bars with the goal of meeting people and developing confidence - also known as “cakebarring.” During their year of “cakebarring,” Corinne receives a life-altering diagnosis, and the pair face a challenge unlike anything they’ve experienced before. Sitting in Bars with Cake isn't only a madcap joyride through some of L.A.’s most colorful watering holes, it's a moving celebration of female friendship, forging identity, and finding joy in the most unexpected places.

“I love to bake” 

“My best friend, Chrissy, was celebrating her birthday, so I made her a cake and brought it to the bar she wanted to go to. When I noticed all the guys in the bar looking at the cake, I could tell they wanted some. So I just gave them each a piece. By the end of the night, I had talked to every man there.”

“Chrissy proposed that for one year, I would go to a different bar every week with a different cake in order to meet men.” 

“The idea was certainly…intriguing. And because I am a writer, I decided to blog about it.”
