Pastry: Soggy and delaminating 3/10
Presentation: Squat and narrow, messy and tired 4/10
Value for money: $5.90 - Tastier than predicted but way overpriced 5/10
Overall score: 4.75/10
Upon first pickup the posture of the slice drooped and became tricky to manoeuvre, the layers of pastry delaminated and the layer of icing fell off. I swiftly reassembled and took large bites to get the task completed with minimal embarrassment. Though clearly not fresh off the production line and not made with finesse and delicacy, the overall taste was rather nice. An unexpected white chocolate icing made the slice sweet and rich, and offset the thick vanilla custard well. It’s shame the pastry, freshness and price let the item down overall.
