Empire Cake bakery in the West Village once again proves it has its finger on the pulse of pop culture (I saw that Labubu Cake in the window) with a batch of sugar cookies celebrating the release of Taylor Swift’s Life of a Showgirl album.

This week’s featured Pink Thing of the Day (and very appropriate for Valentines Day) is a treat that my day-gig manager brought to me from her recent visit to our London office! McVitie’s Pink Wafers are a classic British biscuit consisting of thin, crispy wafer layers sandwiched together with a sweet vanilla or raspberry-flavored cream filling. They are instantly recognizable for their vibrant pink color and delicate texture. These biscuits have been a staple of British teatime treats for decades, often enjoyed with a cup of tea.
