My view of some cakes and slices were obstructed by the lady in front and when I got a clear view I had already been served by the member of staff so had to go with it. I ordered Mrs B a caramel slice and I took both items back to the car for quick consumption.
We both complained about the poor ingredients, flavours and overall satisfaction of our items. Her caramel slice tasted of very little, just sweetness. My vanilla slice too lacked almost every necessary element to make it a hit; flavour, freshness, crunch, saltiness and custardy creaminess. The filling was most unusual and rather unpleasant if I’m being honest. It was thick and slightly gelatinous but with an unusual grainy texture that was most unwelcome. Moreover, it was completely devoid of any taste or creaminess. A complete waste of stomach space. The pastry was thick in places and baked alright, but it lacked butter content and flakiness so I chose not to eat it. The hideously sweet passionfruit icing would normally have gone down well, but after tasting all components together I realised I wasn’t going to persist and I didn’t really want to just eat a layer of icing! Not good.
