Story:  Sitting in Bars with Cake follows two best friends—shy-but-extremely-talented home baker Jane and her best friend Corinne, the ultimate extrovert—as they navigate life in Los Angeles.  Corinne convinces Jane to commit to a year of baking cakes and bringing them to bars — known as “cakebarring” — with the goal of meeting people and developing confidence. But when Corrine receives a life-altering diagnosis, the pair face a challenge unlike anything they’ve experienced before, resulting in a moving celebration of female friendship, forging identity, and finding joy in the most unexpected places.

Inspired by real-life events and the book of the same name by Audrey Shulman, who also wrote the screenplay.  Sources:  aboutamazon.com, ew.com.  Photos:  IMDB.com, ew.com.
