In one word: Squashed
The temptation of a sneaky vanilla slice for my commute home was too great, so I was happy to take the last one from Cafe Baguette. Unfortunately a crowded train with no plate or fork was not a good setting to photograph and eat the slice so I carefully tucked it into my bag...bad idea!
It looked perfectly formed in the glass cabinet, but sadly when it reached my plate it was slighty deformed and had begun to go soggy. I must say that the custard was pretty good nevertheless, a good viscosity and packed full of real vanilla. The icing too was still in good enough shape to enjoy even if the pastry foundations were subsiding beneath.
