Sitting in Bars with Cake

It's hard to meet people in a big city, let alone any city. And after living in LA for several years as a single lady, Audrey Shulman 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 Cake 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 themselves out there in hope of finding true love.
