Synopsis: 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). With 35 inventive recipes, this charming book pairs each cake with a short essay and tongue-in-cheek lesson about picking up boys in bars. &“This delectable mix of encouragement, anecdote and cream-filling is more than enough reason to start baking and flirting.&” —Winnie Holzman, creator of My So-Called Life &“This is a delightfully humble and enthralling tale about cake and bars and boys, but it&’s really about life, and what it takes to get up every day and be the person you have always wanted to be.&” —Tracy Moore, Jezebel
