Sitting in Bars with Cake: Lessons and Recipes from One Year of Trying to Bake My Way to a Boyfriend

2015 | Biography

Audrey Shulman moved to Los Angeles with two dreams. One, to write screenplays. Two, to find true love. Seven years and countless bad dates later, Audrey turned to baking. But rather than eating her cakes solo over the sink, she brought them to bars, luring guys with a heady dose of butter and sugar. Sitting in Bars with Cakes recounts Audrey's year spent baking, bar-hopping, and offering slices of cake to men in the hope of finding her soul mate (or, at the very least, a date). With 35 inventive recipes based on her interactions with guys from all walks of life, from a Sticky Maple Kiss Cake to a Bitter Chocolate Dump Cake, this charming book pairs each cake with a short essay and tongue-in-cheek lesson about picking up boys in bars.And while Audrey didn't meet her soul mate, her collection of stories will serve as inspiration for anyone who has ever put herself out there in hope of finding true love.
