Filling: Creamy custard, slight hint of vanilla 7/10 Pastry: Impossibly hard to cut 4/10 Presentation: Decent portion size, attractively presented 8/10 Value for money: $4.70, fresh but unworkable pastry 5/10 Overall score: 6/10 When working my way around the small townships of the stunning Mornington Peninsula I found the Red Hill Baker selling a great range of cakes. Their vanilla slices looked very appetizing in the cake cabinet and at $4.70 they were reasonably priced, I thought. The slice itself had some flaws; namely the layers of plasterboard pastry. You can see from the picture that my efforts at trying to cut through the layers with a fork made the most almighty of messes on my plate. I have never encountered such stiff pastry in a vanilla slice before and I didn't really enjoy having to really chew my way through, so gave up and polished off the filling instead. The custard itself was tasty, fresh and light, but with no pastry was a little disappointing.
