About

Three sisters gathered after 9/11 to open a liqueur-infused cake business in this hilarious memoir, which spans farmers markets to Rachel Ray and appeals to fans of foodie memoirs and the Food Network.

Born to a depressed, exhausted mother and an abusive father who uses his seven children as cheap labor for his business schemes, Sue, Carole, and Kathy raise themselves in their chaotic household. The sisters all marry young; two divorce quickly. But despite the obstacles they face, the three women grow into confident businesswomen and remain extremely close as they build families and recover from their toxic childhood.

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the sisters gather over chilled martinis to take a serious look at the future and decide they should be together-in business. Bring on the cake. Liqueur-infused cake, that is.

They soon start handing out samples of their inventions at farmers markets like seasoned carnival barkers, and soon a Food Network producer who's stopped by their table invites them to New York City-sparking a hilarious adventure involving one-way streets, security guards, and the NYPD, all in an effort to get their cake into the hands of the producers at The Food Network and Rachel Ray.
