Sitting in Bars with Cake

Sitting in Bars with Cake (2023) is a Trish Sie dramedy you can watch online on iFILM. Jane bakes show-stopping cakes but freezes around strangers. Her outgoing best friend Corinne dreams up a fix: spend one whole year hauling those cakes into LA bars and meeting people, slice by slice.

The year of frosting and awkward bar-stool conversations pulls the two women closer than ever. Then Corinne gets a diagnosis that changes everything, and the dare turns into a real test of what friendship can carry. Yara Shahidi plays Jane, Odessa A'zion is Corinne, and Bette Midler shows up as their sharp-tongued boss at the bakery. It's adapted from Audrey Shulman's memoir — the cakes-in-bars project actually happened.

The film opens sunny and light, then quietly knocks the wind out of you. If you want an honest story about female friendship with none of the glossy filter, this one lands. Stream Sitting in Bars with Cake (2023) online on iFILM.
