In one word: Yesterdays
Although I have eaten at Poyntons a lot over the years, I had only tasted their vanilla slice way back in 2013 - long before the Snot Blog's real inception. I recall seeing the Sweet By Nature logo throughout their cake cabinet, but in comparing the SBN slice to the Poynton's one - I'm not so sure they are they same.
I'm sure that the vanilla slice was yesterdays to start off with...I mean who would deliver fresh cakes on a Sunday? Having said that; there were some real positives here with a whipped, rich vanilla infused cream filling. Pastry would have been crisp and flaky yesterday with a lovely golden baked colour and flavour - but today just not the right texture. Topped with a sweet vanilla icing and accompanied by passionfruit and raspberry coulis and an extra dollop of whipped cream - I had to be rolled out!
