Her on-brand pun isn’t lost on Sie either.
But once she read Shulman’s script, she knew she couldn’t say no.
I was pleasantly surprised that that’s really not the theme.
As it turns out, cake helps.
Throughout the movie, viewers will see Jane bake a total of 50.
(The girls take a break from cakebarring for Thanksgiving and Christmas, of course.)
Sie wanted to show that on screen as authentically as possible.
“Oh my gosh, there wassomuch cake,” Sie recalls.
“There was a fair amount eaten onscreen, but the cakes were seriously delicious in real life.
So, we had different versions of all of them.
It was just cake from dusk til dawn.”
Fridays were the big taste-testing days.
While the crew prepped the movie, tasty treats would arrive at the production offices.
“Hundreds, truly hundreds of cakes were eaten on this movie,” Sie notes.
“Cake kind of was ruined for me for a while after.”
Sitting in Bars With Cakepremieres Friday, Sept. 8 on Prime Video.
