Filling: Firm, slightly tasteless custard 5/10 Pastry: Thin, crisp sheets, good bite 7/10 Presentation: Neatly iced and cut, good proportions 7.5/10 Value for money: $4.75 - Good size, fresh, but uneventful 6/10 Overall score: 6.3/10 With no new leads to follow down the Peninsula, I settled for a French patisserie style vanilla slice in the heart of Mornington. Sadly, unlike some of the big guns I've tasted down this way, this specimen was quite forgettable. The initial diagnosis was positive; neatly built, good colour and well priced. Unfortunately the main substance of the slice - the custard, was just very bland and too firm for my liking. The pastry was crisp and light and crunched beautifully. The icing too was pretty good; thin, sticky and a good aftertaste of chocolate. Perhaps with their main business being in European breads, their custard is not their main priority.
