About The Custard Crusaders
The word had got about that there were custard cowboys roaming the bakeries of Australia, coralling in their glass fronted display cases the creamiest of confections, the mythical perfect vanilla slice. After exchanging epic tales of the custard sandwiched pastry treat in far away places, The Custard Crusaders set about to sample and rate as many of the sweet delicacies as possible. This is their journey, the quest for perfection.
For as long as the ever expanding girth will allow, Stickyfingers will photograph and record the details of the Vanilla Slice tastings and average the scores - as decided by the five Custard Crusaders’ - on this blog. We hope you enjoy our site.
I’m still thoroughly disgusted that having travelled for goodness knows how far to get there that Maldon failed us by declaring that they only have them available on a Thursday! What a cheek, don’t they know who we are? We are the Custard Crusaders.
The world will get around my friend and cowboy bakers will tremble at our approach!
great site! =) I’ll be sure to keep a watch on it as my boy is an avid vanilla slice consumer =)
