Pastry: Three layers of thin, golden sheets, slightly soggy 6/10
Presentation: Stunning cake slice with flaked almond edging 10/10
Value for money: $6, huge cake slice sized portion, baked yesterday 8/10
Overall score: 8/10
I must say that keeping something like this fresh daily would be a challenge, so when I devoured my portion to discover a day old pastry I was not overly disappointed. Even then, the pastry itself was still satisfactory. A dark, golden colour and nice flavour in all three layers was drowned in thick lashings of tasty vanilla custard. Normally the middle layer of such a slice would be unrecognizable by comparison. The flaked almond edging added another nice texture and flavour to the mix and kept the edge fresh. A heavy dusting of icing sugar finished off a beautifully presented slice, it was served with some slightly dubious synthetic raspberry sauce I might add.
If in the area, I would give this one a go, you won't be disappointed.
