00:00 If we make one cake a week for a year,
00:03 count that as 50 cakes,
00:04 just knowing that we'll probably take a break
00:06 for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
00:10 You have to add a column of results.
00:17 -Results? -Yeah.
00:18 Results.
00:19 Cake was eaten. Cake wasn't eaten.
00:22 No.
00:23 No. Like, um, like, results.
00:26 Like, kissing, flirting, touching.
00:31 Hi. I'm Sheronda Williams,
00:33 and I'm here to tell you about the Prime Video original film
00:36 "Sitting in Bars with Cake"
00:37 and help you meet the characters.
00:40 Inspired by a true story, "Sitting in Bars with Cake"
00:43 follows talented baker Jane and her best friend Corrine
00:46 as they navigate life in L.A. in their 20s.
00:49 Jane is more on the quiet side and studying law by day
00:51 while pursuing her passion of baking by night.
00:54 On Corrine's birthday, Jane brings a cake to the bar
00:57 to celebrate and ends up being swarmed by men
00:59 asking for a slice of her delicious cake.
01:02 This leads to her rider-die bestie, Corrine,
01:05 to convince Jane to bake cakes
01:06 and bring them to bars to help her meet guys.
01:09 As the two embark on this fun cake-barring ride,
01:12 they receive news that changes their lives forever,
01:14 and they quickly discover their friendship
01:16 will be tested by something even a good cake can't solve.
01:20 To make ends meet, Jane is currently working
01:22 in the mailroom of a record label
01:24 while studying for the LSAT
01:25 to follow in her lawyer parent's footsteps.
01:28 She is quiet but loves to hang out with her best friend
01:31 and roommate, Corrine.
01:32 She loves to bake, and by the looks of her creations
01:35 and everyone's reaction after eating her cake,
01:37 she's incredible at it.
01:39 She has a crush on a guy at work, Owen,
01:41 but hasn't had the chance to talk to him yet.
01:44 So for now, she'll admire him from afar.
01:47 Jane is a great friend and someone you can truly depend on.
01:50 As Jane takes on Corrine's cake-barring challenge,
01:53 she begins on a journey of self-discovery, fun, and love.
01:57 Corrine is Jane's best friend and roommate
02:00 who is the life of the party and always up for a good time.
02:03 While Corrine knows all the party tricks
02:05 and is killer at karaoke,
02:07 she also has aspirations to become a big-time music agent.
02:10 She's currently an assistant for a major music agent
02:13 at the same record label that Jane works at.
02:16 Corrine's dream job seems to be right around the corner,
02:19 but climbing the corporate ladder
02:20 might not be the biggest battle yet to come.
02:23 Owen works in the legal department
02:24 at the record label with Corrine.
02:26 He tracks international licenses for the company
02:29 and is currently in their training program.
02:31 He is always down for conversation
02:33 and will always make a fun, corny joke.
02:35 As Owen catches the eye of one of his coworkers,
02:38 he might be involved in a new office romance.
02:41 Fred is Corrine's father and married to her mother, Ruth.
02:44 Fred might be a little protective of his daughter,
02:46 but would do anything for his baby girl
02:48 to ensure her happiness.
02:49 He loves his instant coffee.
02:51 Don't try to get him to use the Keurig.
02:53 Fred can also literally fix anything
02:55 and will fix anything no matter where he is
02:57 or what he's doing.
02:59 Ruth is Corrine's mom.
03:01 When she isn't making her famous lasagna
03:03 or playing her favorite game, Wordle,
03:04 Ruth is always there for her daughter or anyone in need.
03:08 Also, if you are ever missing an item, just ask Ruth.
03:11 Her purse literally has anything you need in it.
03:14 Benita is Corrine's boss at the record label.
03:16 She's great at her job and doesn't take crap from anyone.
03:20 But under that tough exterior, she has a kind heart
03:22 and will always take care of her employees
03:25 and their career goals.
03:26 Tasha is a human rights attorney
03:28 and is very successful at her job.
03:30 She is Jane's mother.
03:32 She can speak multiple languages
03:33 and wants her daughter to follow in her footsteps
03:35 to become an attorney like herself.
03:38 Isaac is also an attorney and Jane's father.
03:40 Like Jane's mother, Isaac also speaks multiple languages
03:43 and is excited to see Jane go to law school
03:45 to follow in her parents' footsteps.
