Pastry: Three layers, golden but lacking crispness 6/10
Presentation: Stacked tall, topped with sticky fondant icing 8/10
Value for money: $6 - large portion, sweet and rich 8/10
Overall score: 7.6/10
The slice was made up of three dark brown, well defined layers of pastry, with copious amounts of creamy vanilla custard that was fluffy but incredibly rich. The pastry would have been good when freshly baked but when handled the slice indicated it might not have been fresh out the oven. With no utensils in sight I had to pick up this beast. With gravity my enemy in trying to bring the slice down, coupled with the grip of finger and thumb, the whole thing became a bit of a sticky mess to try and eat. The residue left on my thumb from the sweet sticky (and now melted) icing caused sugary fingerprints all over my phone soon after. A relatively pricey baked good, but no denying the quantity and thought gone into its creation. I would be keen to try this one again when just baked and on an empty stomach.
