Boasting three options of vanilla slices in this elegant cake factory I opted for the lesser spotted brulee-topped slice. The burnt brown sugar had a lovely richness to it, but got lost in the overall consumption and was only noticed at the very end. The custard oozed out between the robust and darkly baked layers of fresh, golden pastry. I often criticize under baked , soggy pastry, but this was almost too well baked (if there is such a thing). The custard itself was a wonderful consistency of fresh whipped cream, vanilla and a slight egg thickening agent. All in all a tasty and worthwhile slice at a reasonable price. Perhaps I should have selected the fondant icing version for real comparison.
