A Baking Dramedy in Los Angeles - "Sitting in Bars with Cake" Trailer

“I just want to have fun, and I want you to have fun.” Amazon's Prime Video has revealed an official trailer for a romantic comedy/drama about friendship titled Sitting in Bars with Cake, directed by Pitch Perfect 3 director Trish Sie. This will launch on Prime Video in September, skipping theaters. Inspired by a true story, it is based on the book called "Sitting in Bars with Cake: Lessons and Recipes from One Year of Trying to Bake My Way to a Boyfriend". The author, Audrey Shulman, also wrote the screenplay for the film. Sitting in Bars with Cake recounts her year spent baking, bar-hopping, and handing men slices of cake in hopes of finding a boyfriend (or, at the very least , a date) - which they call "cakebarring". In the film, Yara Shahidi plays the role of Jane, the main character of the shy baker, and Odessa A'zion plays the role of her best friend who takes her to town. The cast also includes Ron Livingston, Martha Kelly and the one and only Bette Midler. It looks quite sweet and lovely, although now I also want to eat some of her cakes.

Here is the first official trailer for Sitting in Bars with Cake by Trish Sie, direct from YouTube:

The film follows best friends Jane (Yara Shahidi) and Corinne (Odessa A'zion) navigating life in Los Angeles in their twenties. Corinne, the quintessential extrovert, convinces Jane, her shy but extremely talented baker best friend, to commit to baking cakes for a year and bringing them to bars, with the aim of meeting people and developing the self-confidence, the so-called "cakebarring". During their "cakebarring" year, Corinne receives a life-changing diagnosis, and they face an unprecedented challenge. Sitting in bars with cake isn't just a wild ride around some of LA's most colorful watering holes, it's a moving celebration of female friendship, the forging of identity and finding joy in unexpected places. Sitting in Bars with Cake is directed by American filmmaker Trish Sie, director of the Pitch Perfect 3 films and The Sleepover before, as well as numerous music videos and short films. The screenplay is written by Audrey Shulman, adapted from Shulman's book of the same name. Prime Video will be streaming Sitting in Bars with Cake on Prime Video starting September 8, 2023, available soon. Do you look good?
