Browns Bakery, Albert Park
Tall and blonde with a creamy complexion it stood like an Yummy-Mummy in a shiny black SUV, looking down on the traffic of cakes around it. A modern two storey twin set of pastel hues overlaid with a filigree of icing, this Brown’s vanilla slice had built its vocation on good looks and being in the right places. Technically it was fine – creamy with decent pastry and attractive icing – but the flavours were as beige as a Bayside Mansion’s feature walls. Cumbersome and uptight, it was as big a disaster to navigate as a Porsche Cayenne in school gate gridlock. With custard like Prozac, this was just another ding in the fender on the road to perfection.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment. For those looking for recipes I am now listing some in the Related Articles section.
The lack of posts has come about due to a number of sub-standard slices tried in the last few months. If they rank below 10 points they will not be posted.
The Custard Crusaders are going on a much needed holiday in November. We will however hopefully leave you with another post before we head off on vacation. Cheers!
