Hulu is bringing their next book-to-screen title “Black Cake” to life in Washington, DC.

As the series is set to premiere on Hulu on November 1, Hulu will also be bringing this special rum-soaked Caribbean dessert to Creative Grounds DC on that day, as part of their larger initiative to stock Black Cakes on the shelves of multicultural-owned bakeries across the United States.

These BIPOC bakeries are set to host an array of enticing offerings with exciting “Black Cake” giveaways, and captivating in-store promotions. These bakeries will  surprise and delight patrons with all-day giveaways of the acclaimed New York Times bestselling book and delightful "Black Cake" themed napkins.

ABOUT HULU’S “BLACK CAKE”
Based on The New York Times-bestselling book by Charmaine Wilkerson, “Black Cake'' is a family drama wrapped in a murder mystery with a diverse cast of characters and a global setting, from Marissa Jo Cerar, Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Films, and Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment. The story takes place in Jamaica, Italy, Scotland, England and Southern California. Cerar wrote the adaptation and serves as a showrunner on the series, which spans decades. In the late 1960s, a runaway bride named Covey disappears into the surf off the coast of Jamaica and is feared drowned or fugitive on the run for her husband’s murder. In present day California, a widow named Eleanor Bennett, loses her battle with cancer, leaving her two estranged children, Byron and Benny, a flash drive that holds previously untold stories of her journey from the Caribbean to America. These stories, narrated by Eleanor, shock her children and challenge everything they thought they knew about their family’s origin.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Stop by Creative Grounds DC on November 1 between 10AM-5PM to join the fun!
