Filling: Good viscosity but flavourless 4.5/10 Pastry: Golden, buttery and flaky 8.5/10 Presentation: Generous and neatly iced 7/10 Value for money: $3.80- Appropriately priced and rather filling 8/10 Overall score: 7/10 On my last day in Newcastle I took a drive to picturesque Salamander Day in Port Stephens, taking a half way stop at Saxby's Bakery Cafe in Salt Ash. This is by far the best bakery in the area that I managed to visit, selling a wide range of freshly baked products and lots of customers popping in and out. With two vanilla slices on offer I purchased a passionfruit topped slice as I'm not a fan of the pink icing variety. This was much better than yesterday's effort. Golden, flaky pastry crunched as I bit through, buttery in content and rigid in its construction it was an excellent bake. The custard was a good viscosity and looked like it would be really good, but sadly it lacked any real taste. No vanilla to speak of, it was leaning more towards a basic powdered mix with a hint of cream. Finally, the icing on top offered an extra crunch, with a slightly thicker than needed slab of obviously passionfruit flavoured sweetness. A welcome pit stop and a half decent product.
