Walking past the Melton Bakery I noticed some ok-looking Vanilla Slices so in the name of research I bought one. I must say it is not one of the best I have had. The pastry was dense, biscuit-like and brown in colour and the icing was very unusual being a very soft/creamy glaze.
This slice's rating is :-
- Icing - 4
- Custard - 6 (I don't think I have ever had a custard I don't like)
- Pastry -5 (just passable yet very unusual)
- Appearance - 6.5 (I don't think I would ever try a VS which didn't look appetising)
- Overall rating - 6
