In one word: Airy
Although pleased to tick this one of the bucket list I was left underwhelmed. I took their very last vanilla slice but failed to see the hype about it. Although quite well presented, good size and proportion of elements the taste just wasn't there. An almost flavourless, whipped cream filling didn't resemble a custard or indeed have any vanilla running through it. The pastry was a good texture but not baked to a golden colour, so again lacking the flavour. The icing again was OK, just sweet enough, but overall a bit of a let down. Surely a vanilla slice needs vanilla?!
