Filling: Thick, yellow, non-descript custard 4/10 Pastry: Thick but crumbly and fresh 6/10 Presentation: Flat and unusual ratios, dubious topping 5/10 Value for money: $3.50 - Medium portion, not a bargain 4.5/10 Overall score: 4.9/10 I popped into an unknown bakery whilst driving to Dreamworld. I later found out the name to be MacNellies. In need of a quick pie and a potential vanilla slice I ordered and took my goods out to the car. The steak pie was tasty, nothing mind blowing but it did the trick. The vanilla slice on the other hand was an interesting critter. Selling for only $3.50, it was of a medium build size, with hefty layers of puff pastry and thick yellow custard. The topping turned out to be an unknown concoction consisting of passion fruit and desiccated coconut frosting. Not good. The pastry was fresh and at least gave the slice a backbone to pick up and eat, though the custard lacked real notable flavour and smoothness. This looked like a well established, no frills bakery. The slice is close to how many would remember their snot blocks from their childhoods, and at this price who can really complain!?
