Mrs B brought me home dessert whilst out at Westfield - Result! Unfortunately, the slice in question was not made today, but most probably yesterday. This made the pastry pretty hopeless for cutting into smaller chunks. Freshness really let this vanilla slice down, as sadly the pastry was actually a good thickness, consistency and golden baked. A very average cream custard mix filled the pastry layers, and was not overly vanilla flavoured. A rather measly dusting of icing sugar left me wishing this thing at least had vanilla icing on top - but sadly not. I've said this before; cafes like this should have the decency to sell slightly stale goods at a knocked down price.
