So after my walk in the sun I sat down and enjoyed my slice in peace. With my first bite I was pleasantly surprised with the crunch of pastry, and though it was a little thicker than I’d have liked it was fresh and quite biscuity. It made for easy pick up and a mess free experience. The custard was creamier and more scented with vanilla than predicted and was a good viscosity to remain sandwiched in the pastry whilst remaining fluffy and light. I had to remove some of the icing sugar due to some close to some unnecessary inhalation.
Just goes to show, never judge a book by its cover. Not the best, but very serviceable.
