Ocean Grove Rolling Pin Pies and Cakes


Looks are deceiving.  Unfortunately (although it does not alter the taste in the slightest) the appearance of the Slice was affected by the packaging.  That aside, this was a delicious slice with a lovely custard texture.  Check out the website at www.rollingpin.com.au
 
This slice's rating is :-

  • Icing - 8.5 (not too sticky)
  • Custard - 8.5 (fresh with a smooth texture and not too creamy)
  • Pastry - 8
  • Appearance - 8 (allowance made for "handling error")
  • Overall rating - 8.5

Kaddy's Kyneton


Another individual tasting Vanilla Slice.  The custard had the just-right creamy texture, the icing had chocolate crumbs (can't say no to a Flake) but the pastry was very disappointing (Sao or similar type biscuit base).
 
This slice's rating is :-


  • Icing - 8 (lovely unique icing with flaked chocolate on top)
  • Custard - 7.5 (fresh and not too creamy)
  • Pastry - 5 (see above)
  • Appearance - 8
  • Overall rating - 7.5 (the "pastry" was very disappointing)

Kemp's at Kilmore


Wow, what was surprising (and not in a nice way) was the icing; it was extremely thick and made eating the Slice rather difficult.  I really cannot say much more about this Vanilla Slice.
 
This slice's rating is :-

  • Icing - 5 (way too thick (at least 3/8" and overpowering)
  • Custard - 7 (fresh and not too creamy)
  • Pastry - 7.5
  • Appearance - 8
  • Overall rating - 7.5
