A brand new shopping village called Warrally has sprung up on the outskirts of Barwon Heads since the last time I went for a swim there a good few years ago. Conveniently, heading there again I pulled in and grabbed lunch before I got all sandy on the beach. With only a few cafes to choose from, I headed into Sullies Kiosk and took out what appeared to be quite an interesting vanilla slice. I wasn’t sure at first if they baked their cakes, but I’d guess they use a supplier. The slice had real promise, with visible vanilla bean speckles dotted throughout the custard. The filling was creamy and quite heavy, but sadly lacking a vanilla flavour, even with the clear vanilla content. The pastry was at least a day old and soft. It flexed in my grip and made the custard flop quite precariously out the sides. If less dense I would have been wearing quite a lot of it on my shirt. The icing had a slight yellow tint, definitely not white. It’s flavour resesmbling white chocolate and again, creamy and sweet. In fact, the icing is what came through the most with each mouthful. Potentially this should be called a white chocolate vanilla slice. I’d be keen to try another one when freshly baked and delivered to the premises.
