A hearty and traditional slice in a beautiful spot. This slice was big and extremely filling. It rivals the Grants of Sherbrooke vanilla slice in terms of size and difficulty to finish. The twin layer filling is a nice touch and not one that I have regularly come across when out on the road. The airy pastry made the slice very easy to cut up and slowly chomp through, but I think with so much cream on offer a hint of strawberry jam would have given the whole thing a little more sweetness. A darker baked pastry would have also offset the intense creaminess of the mammoth slice. Nevertheless, a worthy inclusion into the Snot Blog.
