4:05pm red velvet cake

This is more funny if you know my last name is Ha. It's also funny if you heard M. trying to explain to the girl behind the counter what she wanted on the cake, which I didn't, but her retelling of the tale was funny enough. The red velvet cake was dense, not cloyingly sweet and all around pretty damn good. Lulu's changed their name to Empire, for reasons unknown to us, but so far the baked goods seem unaffected. We will, of course, keep you posted.
