In one word: Finally!
Today was third time lucky in my pursuit of Boccone's 'weekend only' vanilla slice after missing out on previous attempts. I have to say, it was worth the wait. Held at bay by a plastic sheet, once removed the fresh creamy custard had no excuse but spill out of the sandwich and onto my cake fork, mouthful by mouthful. The word that sums up this vanilla slice is indeed freshness. Such tasty, golden, crispy pastry and such airy, whipped, creamy custard. Yum.
