Le Cirque's appearance caught my attention and I was convinced that the vanilla slice would be of a high quality, so stopped and got a take away. From the moment I watched the waitress take 3 minutes to cut through the slice into bite size pieces for me to eat I started to feel let down. Unfortunately it was not fresh, a bit rubbery in texture and the pastry not crispy as I'd expect. Even the flavour was nothing memorable. Very presentable in appearance, with nice decorative icing, but hugely lacking in flavour and texture. Nice coffee though!

Having received the silver trophy at the 2014 Merbein Vanilla Slice Challenge I went for a drive in search of this one. I have to say that I wasn't disappointed. Fresh, creamy, vanilla flavoured custard. Crisp pastry that cuts beautifully and generous layer of fondant icing. Very good overall. Well worth the drive. Nice to know this place exists for when I'm next in Ballarat. |
