Sneakily hiding in a quiet back street of Moonee Ponds lurks an Artisan Bakery, only today discovered. With a wallet full of cash I inspected the vanilla slice and was undecided about the outcome. The pastry looked extremely flaky, but I wasn’t certain it was fresh. At a colossal $6.50, I’m pleased to inform that the portion was in keeping with the price tag. Nevertheless, I took the beast home and sat it down with a knife in hand. Thankfully, when turned on to its side, with a sharp blade resting on the pastry, resistance was immediately felt and my anxiety subsided. The pastry in fact was excellent; super rich, salty, baked dark brown and a very worthy addition to the slice. The custard was somewhat average in comparison. With notably less custard to pastry, it almost got lost between the dominant layers of the good stuff. There was undoubtedly a hint of vanilla, but little else. Artisan in name, Artisan in price, but not really Artisan in vanilla slices.
