Filling: Whipped confectioners cream 2/10 Pastry: Robust and dry 2/10 Presentation: Not bad overall, decorative icing 6/10 Value for money: £0.95 ($1.70) - Small portion, messy eat, not great overall 3.5/10 Overall score: 3.3/10 Back in the motherland and on the South East Coast for the festive period, I immediately hit up the local Oak Bakery. Selling a vanilla slice for less than a pound, I took this lighter than air assembly to a nearby car park with a cracking seaside view. Blowing an absolute hooley outside, I braved the gale force wind and chomped on the slice outside of the car. Thankfully so, as after the first bite, I lost a third of the filling, with my trousers wearing some and the rest on the ground in a sorry heap. The cause was rigid, unforgiving pastry lacking any flake or richness. It squeezed the air like whipped cream filling out with ease. Oddly enough, the whole slice tasted very little of any flavour worth mentioning. I ate what could be salvaged, but left feeling saddened by the mess on my trousers mostly.
