Beechworth Bakery, Beechworth

The Beechworth Bakery Vanilla Slice is lusciously shabby. It was a hot sticky day when we met and the vanilla icing oozed like a nightclub romeo, but it was sweet and soft and clung tenderly to the pastry like a love-sick puppy. The flaky, perfectly cooked pastry was just the right thickness to support the creamy custard and the two hit the tongue like a smooth love song - deep, rich and tasty. A breeze to eat with the hands, it left us licking our fingers seductively. Like a stolen moment of passion we began planning the next rendezvous like an illicit secret.

Beechworth Bakery probably does the best vanilla slice that I recall eating - I think that it is pretty hard to top.
wow those stores are so far away from where i live!
Yum! This looks like the ones I used to get (there are three bakeries on Main Street in Croydon Victoria - the smaller of the three near the newsagency I forget the name has really tasty vanilla slices).
By pure and wondrous good fortune I am off to Beechworth for Easter and will be forced to undertake a little research at the Bakery.
In the meantime I will return to sipping hot chocolate on my couch.
