Vanilla Slices
After a long break I'm back in the kitchen and here's my attempt to get rid of my cream as soon as possible - vanilla slices.
A vanilla slice is constructed out of a puff pastry layer at the bottom, custard in the middle, topped with another layer of puff pastry and finally a layer of passionfruit icing.
This tasted good, but somehow it didn't turn out well in the photo. Here it is anyway.
Looking forward to tomorrow's baking.

Slices of Caramel
I like baking slices but have difficulty producing slices that are camera worthy. They tend to taste good but look horrible. This is the closest I'll probably ever get to presentable looking slice and even these are imperfect. Heating the knife did not help me get clean lines.
Slices are extremely easy to make. This is just a biscuit base with home made caramel (just some sugar and condensed milk stirred together) and melted chocolate poured on top.
Caramel is one of the most cariogenic (caries inducing) substances around. It's sticky and sweet - which is all bad news for teeth. Thus these slices should be eaten with caution.
I am intending to bake peppermint slices next but people seem to be expressing their dislike towards peppermint. Why?!
